Sony offers PS3 with a keyboard ... a trackpoint
Sony just announced a Bluetooth keyboard for the PlayStation 3 and - unique product - it includes a pointing device.

The device used in the IBM (now Lenovo) for years is quite rare now, but it has a (big) advantage: it is compact.
For those who do not know what a trackpoint, it is a kind of miniature joystick incorporated into the middle of the keyboard and sensitive to pressure and tilt. The trackpoint generally requires little training to be controlled, unlike a trackpad that is more intuitive, but it is generally more intuitive and effective once mastered.
