Apple Keyboard - Fewer Keys for the Same Price as Original

For those who dig the numpad-less design of the Apple Bluetooth keyboard and miss the dual USB ports on the original extended layout version, Cupertino has just come out with a mini keyboard that suits exactly your need. The Apple Keyboard - bearing a plain name that doesn't mention the omission of the numeric pad - is brought out like other minor upgrades in a subtle manner.

Both sides of the keyboard sport a USB port that is enough to power a mouse, but doesn't supply enough juice to recharge an iPod. The new mini Apple Keyboard is now standard on all Mac desktops except for the mini, which traditionally doesn't ship with input devices anyway. People who spend 10 hours a day crunching numbers will be glad to know that the extended version with numeric pad can be optionally configured without costing an extra dime.
