OK, that is pretty freaky. Are those real keys or is it like the "buttons" on the controls in ST:TNG -- flat surface?

There are two square keypads on the unit and they move as if they were on a small spring. Think of them as a two giant keyboard keys. You have to hit a button to switch from mouse mode to keyboard mode; looks interesting, but I'm not sure how usable yet. One nice thing: the screen is set up for panning so it's as if you have a 10-inch screen on a 7-inch display. When in mouse mode with the two giant keypads, the screen pans. Slick implementation...

Jen put up a video of the noahpad being used. Good set of photos too.

Talk about good timing; I just put up a different video of the same thing! Thanks for pointing out the link to Jenn's post Peter. For her first CES, Jenn's doing a bang-up job!
