Quickie video with my camera
Sucker is TINY! Pretty much they ripped out the 13" MacBook laptop's keyboard and kept a couple millimeters to make it flat. I happen to love the MacBook's keyboard, so I was excited to see this keyboard come out. Takes 3 AAAs which are included. Super light, super small - almost too small! It's GREAT to sit on your laptop and lean back in your chair. The layout is a bit different, which I think is more for Leopard. Everyone is wowed by it. Here's a picture of it next to my 24" LCD, Mac Mini, and Logitech wireless notebook mouse:

As you can see it makes for a very compact setup. I'm not a huge number pad user so I don't miss the numberpad, plus this is my second keyboard - I use a big wireless Ergonomic keyboard most of the time, the Bluetooth keyboard is just for kicking back and relaxing.
I can see this keyboard being really, really great in an HTPC setup. Leopard introduces the AppleTV GUI for Front Row, so if you snag a new Mini you have the perfect 1080p playback machine plus with the new wifi keyboard you can use apps and surf the net easily with it. I'd definitely recommend getting a good wireless laser mouse if you plan on doing a media setup like that, that way you can use it on an armrest or whatever surface you happen to have.
Overall A+ on the new keyboard. It's VERY cool! I've had zero problems with it, both in setup and actual usage. I'm very pleased with it - if you're looking for a compact wireless keyboard and happen to like the MacBook's keys, then this is your ticket!
