“I’m trying to decide between a Netbook and Apple’s new iPad. I need to be able to type quickly, which I can’t do with an on-screen keyboard. Is it possible to connect an external keyboard to an iPad?”
The iPad currently supports adding any external Bluetooth keyboard. I like the Logitech keyboards better than any of the others I’ve tried. The Apple Wireless Keyboard is also a popular choice. When I’m not trying to type in a busy airport terminal, I often find the voice recognition features of iOS to be just as fast as using the keyboard, which means you can largely get by with no keyboard at all.
