It has to do with a messaging service they are adding to Xbox live. It seems to be an add-on for the controller and comes with a headset for $29.99. The keyboard lites up so it's easy to see at night which is pretty cool.
This set up reminds me of a really old atari controller for some reason but I can't think of which one.

Hell no I will not use that. It looks bulky and uncomfortable.

keyboard + headset is somewhat self-defeating, but I guess it helps for text entry like Messenger or whatever else they use that doesn't have VOIP capability yet... but it should, to remove the need for the keyboard entirely. Meh.

Did Microsoft unveil anything else or is that it for the upcoming year?

Their conference didn't happen yet. Even that thing was a slip up.

People talkin' to each other over long distances? Wow, is technology advancing fast! Geez, at this rate in twenty years people will be flyin' through the skies in heavier-than-air machines and splittin' the atom to make electricity! What a wonderful world we live in!
