    Why no keyboard like the Asus transformer?

    I would like one that will charge my laptop... extending the battery like another 10 hours while allowing to type faster would be a BIG plus!

    Why is it is a big plus...the keyboard just adds weight....cause it has a big battery...and if it charges the ipad...you'll just have ot charge it again.

    If you want that, get a transformer...

    that's not really helpful... I was hoping someone know of such keyboard. Why is it so wrong to want something like that? It would be nice to have that option..

    Asus is the only company to makes a $150 keyboard like that...and if you are not careful it will tip over when the transformer is in it. I don't think it is as useful as it seems either, since very few folks are going to need that kind of battery life.

    I have not seen any such type of keyboard for an iPad, either.

    The only keyboard-like "keyboards" that can come close to that transformer keyboard design; is something like the clamcase, Logitech fold up keyboard and crux360. Those are all cases but designed to have a laptop like architecture.

    It does not charge the ipad. The stand alone battery is for the keyboard's functionality.

    Otherwise, I'm pretty sure we will never see a design like that for the ipad. Apple won't infringe on Asus's design nor will after market. Since I'm sure Asus will drop a lawsuit on those who try. I could be wrong, but that's how I see it.

    That looks like it'd be a bit of a learning curve, but very cool none the less.
