As for now it’s still just a rumor but I can actually see this concept becoming a reality. The idea is a full sized Apple keyboard with the right area (the area that used to be designated for the num pad) a touch sensitive display type apparatus. Which has the ability to display anything from an ipod-esque click wheel to becoming a simple track pad for easy navigation.

It is believed that an upcoming software update for the Apple TV will include for .mac support. Which means the ability to read and right E-mail as well as the ability to use iChat and manage photos. If this does happen, this keyboard suddenly makes that much more sense.
