When I first saw “Canon” in this press release, I expected some sort of new printer or scanner, naturally. But no, it’s one of these USB keypad things – they’re of particular use for people on laptops who miss the conventional 10-key of a full sized keyboard, and I’m sort of in love with them.
Canon has, for “the first time in the world,” integrated a 10-key keypad, USB 2.0 hub, and calculator into one device. Judging by the solar cell pictured on the calculator, I’m going to go ahead and assume you can disconnect the thing and still use it as a normal calculator. As is often the case, though, convenience isn’t cheap – nearly $85 USD. For that much, you could buy more than 200 frozen burritos, or 6 unfrozen ones.
