While it's not the Modbook Pro creators Axiotron unveiled at MacWorld overnight, online Apple reseller is now selling the original Modbook in Australia.

In person, Lenovo's IdeaCentre 600 all-in-one PC is not as beautiful as we'd hoped, with a bulbous arse. But its do-it-all remote, with Wii-like gaming, is exactly like we expected: crap.

We spotted some Asus keyboards last week, but none were nearly as potentially awesome as the official Eee Keyboard. Featuring wireless HDMI, it's a complete computer with full QWERTY and a mini secondary touchscreen.
