I want to use an iPad with a physical keyboard. What are my options?

I've heard that their may be an official Apple dock with a keyboard. Are there other options?

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

There's a specific keyboard, made by apple for this purpose. It's called the iPad Keyboard Dock. It costs $69. You basically dock your iPad to this keyboard and then you can plug it into an electrical outlet through the USB adapter and sync it to other computers and devices.

The iPad mounts in such a way that it's vertical so some functionality is lost by docking it to the keyboard. Of course, if you were sitting down at keyboard I don't think that you would want to tilt the screen.

As of now, the iPad doesn't appear to support a mouse so we'll just have to see about that one.

Apple will be selling a "keyboard dock" for the iPad. The iPad will plug into it and use it as a stand. Another alternative is to buy a bluetooth keyboard and a separate stand for the iPad. I kind of like this idea better because you will be able to move around a little more freely. Imagine having your keyboard attached to the bottom of your monitor, that would be hell. With the bluetooth keyboard, you can use the iPad more like a monitor.
