Remember the Zune Pro|Type keyboard renders we saw last year? There wasn't much information then, other than 32KB of memory on board, but we just got some new shots in right now.
As you can see (with more after the jump), it's a keyboard. With a Zune dock. What did you expect?
But as long as the keyboard is pretty decent, consolidating two gadgets—a dock and a keyboard—into one is always good in our book.


Thanks tipster!

A good start, any news on other colours, like brown.
Not sure how this is ergonomic at all, it's a traditional keyboard layout which is one of the worst ever.
Why'd they start putting the letters in the middle of the keys? I think that's ugly. Also, does the rotated home-delete-pageup group bother anyone but me?
I have no idea what value this design adds for anyone. Who wants a bright little color screen placed directly in line of sight, competing with an actual monitor. At least have the Zune plug into the side or the back where its out of the way. Better yet, use a regular dock.
I like that it doesn't take up another port, require another cord, or use additional desktop real estate. I don't see how it competes w/ a monitor either since they're typically raised. The letters on the keys look way too small though.
The 3-point design logo looks nice.
I'll just use my Zune docking station for my brownie Ninja Zune.

And who's gonna buy one? Product photographers?
is that a razer logo i see?
wow it doesn't look as good as I thought it would. It looks too standard, but if it is a decent price, I will probably pick one up, because I normally use my zune dock to connect to my 360, so I need another one to connect to my computer. This would work much better. ( and save another usb port for my camera )
It looks HUGE beneath the Zune, unless that's a "Zune Nano". Maybe they can put 3 Zune bays on that monster for, uh, no good reason.
... and anybody but me things it's weird the dedicated media keys aren't more prominent?
... and if it's that big, it might as well act as a port extender, with USB, video and audio.
I have the tarantula which I think is very similar, it's just the gaming version. The thing I like most on this keyboard is the short key stroke which I assume this will have too. It now feels weird to type on a regular keyboard.
