Eee Keyboard Details Released

Details on the new Eee keyboard, previously held secret during the FCC filing, have now been made available. You can now take a look at the innards and a full spec sheet detailing exactly what is being promised. "Beneath the 5-inch, 800 x 480 pixel touch panel (with stylus) we'll be getting Windows XP Home running on an Intel Atom N270, 945GSE / ICH7-M chipset with Broadcom AV-VD905 video decoder, 1GB of DDR2 memory, either 16GB or 32GB of flash storage, 4-hour battery, Bluetooth, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, gigabit Ethernet, HDMI and VGA outputs, integrated stereo speakers and mic, 3x USB, headphone and mic jacks, and external WiFi / UWB antenna. The Eee Keyboard's on-board Ultra-Wideband (UWB) throws 720p content to your TV within a 5-meter range (10-meters for non-video transmissions) via a UWB receiver packing 2x USB ports, another mini-USB port, audio out, and HDMI."

Just buy any netbook and install IDLE, the official Tk-based editor for Python programs.

• Under Windows: Install Python from Python.org; IDLE comes inside.
• Under Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install idle
• Under Xandros, the Linux distro that comes on some Eee PC notebooks, you might want to do what I did a week after I bought mine: Wipe the drive, install Ubuntu, and follow the Ubuntu instructions.

Seconded, contrary to the Anonymous coward, I believe that Python is the best programming language for kids.
