Abstract: Keyboard DockAs laptops and notebooks revolutionised portable computing, the iPad is actually doing that once again. It has changed the way how we access the internet, read e-books, watch movies, read comics, play games and even work. That's right, the...
Comfortable, all-in-one design; dedicated iPad control keys
Ungainly design isn’t very portable
The disadvantage of bolting the dock onto the back of the keyboard is that it ruins its portability. The dock connector sticks out a good three inches, preventing you from easily sliding it into a bag or briefcase alongside the iPad. If you tend to use th...
Big and overly heavy, not much use for anything else, no landscape option for iPad
While the iPad Keyboard Dock makes typing on the iPad considerably easier we have to say it's not something we would recommend adding to your shopping list...
Abstract: Niggles aside the iPad Keyboard is only really at fault for its high price. It's much better to type on than the virtual keyboard and the dock makes a nice resting place for your iPad when not in use, too.

Not cheap; integrated iPad stand makes it awkward to slip into a bag; editing chores such as cut-and-paste, still mostly reliant on iPad's touchscreen; supports only portrait orientation.
Die Tastatur ist sehr gut für den Heimgebrauch, aber fürs Reisen ist sie wie schon erwähnt eher unpraktisch. Damit widerspricht sie eigentlich der grundlegenden Idee des iPads, die auf Mobilität ausgelegt ist. Vielleicht sollte man dann doch nochmals ü...
angenehmes Schreibgefühl, benötigt keine Batterien, gute Verarbeitung
