USB calculator and keypad

From the “why didn’t anyone think of this before” category, Canon has announced a USB number keypad for laptop users that’s also a full calculator. The HS-120TKH also sports a 2 port USB 2.0 hub adding even more functionality for the user. Neat idea and this looks like it would be quite useful if you use either the numpad or a calculator a lot. Expensive at $85.
