I can use my Microsoft 6000 Bluetooth Portable Keyboard with both my laptop and my iPad. I LOVE that keyboard. It's less than half the price of the Apple Wireless Keyboard (on Amazon), has better key action, is ergonomically curved to avoid wrist strain, and is very, very durable. The only reason I have the Apple Wireless Keyboard is that unlike the Microsoft keyboard, it fits into the Origami Workstation and the keyboard and iPad can be placed in my Waterfield Designs "Travel Express" bag for the iPad. The Microsoft 6000 keyboard is just a bit too wide for that. Otherwise, the Microsoft keyboard is GREAT!

P.S. I'm assuming, of course, that you can use a bluetooth keyboard on your laptop. If not, I think you may be up a creek without a paddle.

I'm currently considering buying an iPad, and I really like the iPad dockconnetor to give it a permanent place on my desktop to work and to charge. But, I have to get an iPad first ^_^

Anyway, I've played with my friends iPad and the Wii Wireless keyboard also works. It's made by logitech and costs very little, a mere €25,-

We just got the [FONT=DroidSansWeb, 'Droid Sans', DroidSans, Arial, sans-serif]Logitech iPad 2 Tablet Keyboard for review, i like it, the idea of carrying your case around separate to the iPad makes your iPad keep its slick look. the Keyboard shell transforms into a stand with a multiple viewing angles.
quite cool. search for it.
or you can see it on our site:

I got the bluetooth apple keyboard for my Mac that works with the iPad.


It really depends on what you are doing, if you are writing something long like a long blog post or a word document or something like that the keyboard is useful.
For general use, I found it to be annoying.
