Well theres some really bad news Optimus fans, the Optimus isn’t being shown at CeBIT after all. Thats really a dissapointing news.

This huge stuff costs a big bang for buck at $1,490. Ooh thats a way too much! Pre-orders start in April with delivery in November/December 2007.

Oh and not to forget there was a good news as well, the Optimus 103 gets a name change. While we were hoping for the Optimus Prime, it looks like they’ve settled on Optimus Maximus (the god of gods).

An addition to that all the keys will in fact be OLED with an expected life span of only 5 years, depending upon use of course. Each 32 x 32 resolution OLED will remain stationary. Instead, the key-press mechanics are executed by a plastic cap which slides around the display like a sleeve to keep the wear and tear on the OLEDs to a minimum.

If a key gets broken, replacements will be offered at around $10 for one. And if you think that $1,490 is a bit too pricey for a 5-year keyboard, take heart: “two or three” additional keyboards are in the works with fewer programmable keys which will be a bit less priced at around $1,000 .
