I have the keyboard and it makes a HUGE difference in lengthy typing. Both my iPad and the keyboard fit in a zipper top Targus case that is just a bit larger than the iPad and is very portable.

I was wondering how it might do for actual writing (vs. just writing email). I like the physical keyboard but I was really surprised that they didn’t offer a folding one through Apple. Isn’t mobility a bit factor with the iPad?

Anyway, thanks for your posts (and your site!). I just recently posted a review of the iPad for travel purposes ( http://www.travelite.org/?p=173 ) and I’m trying to decide if I want to get an iPad 3G for my upcoming trip to Istanbul (or if I can just live with my iPod Touch).

I wish it were just a tad smaller.

Stuart,

I have my eye on that keyboard already… will give it a try. Thanks.

Try Apple’s Bluetooth keyboard. Slim, lightweight and not much longer than the iPad. Totally transformed my use from 100% consumption to perhaps 30-40% production. I’ve had good luck with Logmein Ignition controlling my work laptop remotely. This week I’ll leave the laptop at home and take just the iPad on a 3 day business trip.
