I have the keyboard dock for the iPad from apple, and there really needs to be another port on the side of the iPad to allow the iPad to sit in the landscape position on the dock, will this ever happen? It can't be difficult for apple to add another port on the side....
View 6 RepliesI love the keyboard and use it at home and on the road, but it has two significant problems:1. It doesn't work with either of the iPad cases I've bought.2. It can't be used in Landscape mode.Both problems are easily solved for $15 with an iPhone Extension Cable. Here's a photo

View 12 RepliesJust checked in the online shop and the ipad keyboard dock is $69 which is the same price as the wireless keyboard. The ipad dock is $29 so basically there are two options with a difference in cost of $29. I think for an extra $29 i had much rather have the flexibility of the dock/wireless keyboard combo over the fixed keyboard dock.
I dont know if I should get the keyboard dock or the normal dock + a bluetooth keyboard? What do you guys think?
View 1 RepliesGood day. Ive seen pictures of the ipad doing a slideshow, for use as a digital photo frame. I bought the dock expecting it to work on landscape, but of course it doesnt.Is there another dock out there that im missing?
View 5 RepliesAnyone can give me a reason, other than cost why instead of purchasing the iPad dock w/keyboard is a better option rather than just purchasing the iPad dock (already bought one, I need another) and then purchasing a bluetooth keyboard?I would think buying the dock and separate keyboard would be more versatile. Just out of curiosity, I don't know if I'm missing a feature with the one iPad w/keyboard dock.If not, then I'm going to purchase another dock and a bluetooth keyboard. I could always use a bluetooth keyboard.
View 5 Repliesi have been searching for a desktop dock for my ipad 2 that charges in landscape view (preferably something with speakers as well). I am not sure if such a dock exists.
Something that resembles the desktop dock for the samsung galaxy S phones: (but with speakers too)
Is it just me or does it look weird with only 4 icons (like the touch) on the ipad dock? I hope to they change it so you can put 6 icons there, like a favorites dock. Similar to what you would find in OS X. Having only 4 there makes it look so spread out and if you turn it in landscape mode, it even looks more horrid. That's my 2 cents.
View 6 RepliesSo I'm looking for a cable that has the new apple low profile dock connector on one side and a female dock connector on the other side. Cause most iPod interface cables have big bulky dock Connectors and it won't fit in the spot I'm looking at. I even tried looking for a female USB to female dock connector couldn't find that either. Do they not make thin dock connector cables?
View 2 RepliesLong story short, wanna buy one today but can't find this answer anywhere. Is there a VNC client that works with the bluetooth/dock keyboard? I would love this functionality so I can just bring my iPad with on longer trips
Information:
MacBook, Hp Pavilion Vista, Compaq Ubuntu
Mac OS X (10.5.5)
Does anyone know if the iPad function keys that are special to the iPad on the keyboard dock also work on the normal Apple Wireless Keyboard when pairing with bluetooth. Would the brightness up/down on the wireless keyboard also control the iPad's brightness, just like they do on the iPad keyboard? Would the iPod controls (play/pause, rewind, ff) and volume controls also work on the iPad?

View 8 RepliesJust got an ipad this morning and have to say that I love it except for two things.1. once it is in the case, it is impossible to get it out of the case. 2. when it is in the case, it will not plug into the dock. the dock connector is too short since the case has a seam that protrudes out just enough.first mod is to cut the opening in the case out more so that it can dock properly.
View 11 RepliesLike many others here, I learned the hard way that the Apple case is not compatible with the Apple keyboard dock. I can't seem to locate the replacement case that I want in time for my next international trip (EDI on 5/31) so was wondering what I would lose to turn in the keyboard dock for the regular wireless keyboard. My primary question is about specific iPad buttons and shortcuts that work with the keyboard dock but not the wireless keyboard.
View 1 RepliesI like the added feature of Keyboard doc whereas I like slim wireless that also lets me do landscape. Keyboard doc has this weird shape that sticks out while wireless uses bluetooth which is no as good for battery life.
View 13 RepliesI just picked up the keyboard dock from Best Buy and would have to say that I'm blown away. The only downside at this point is that I have to pull the iPad out of the Apple case to put it on the dock.
You can use the keyboard without the charger plugged in, or plug the charger in while using the keyboard and still charge the iPad. The keyboard actually set up as a nice stand while sitting on my lap. What a mix, charger, keyboard and stand all in one, and the entirety still fit nicely in my small Targus Citygear bag.
The real downside was that I kept reaching for the mouse while it was docked. Something about the setup suddenly made my reptile brain think I was typing on a laptop.
Does anyone know if you can plug an ipod into the keyboard dock just to use to charge it? So you have just one docking station for iphone, ipod, ipad? Information : ipad Mac OS X (10.4.3).
View 9 RepliesA (PC) friend recently asked me "why would Apple make the iPad keyboard dock with a blank key?". to him it seemed that Apple wouldnt put a blank key on its keyboard for no reason. He then quizzed that maybe its for a feature yet to be revealed. If he's right what would that feature be? I'm speculating it would be a multitasking button, that would explain why it was left blank, so not to reveal this iOS 4 feature at the iPad launch. what do you guys think? is it simply a space filler? or is there something more sinister going on!
View 3 RepliesAnyone think about this? It is not convenient to hold the iPad all the time. Your hand will be tired, especially for childrent and girls. A stylist dock together with Apple's keyboard should be considered? Keyboard is available @ �28 (wired) but how about an iPad-Dock?
View 4 RepliesDoes anyone know if the iPad dock w/ keyboard has the keyboard as adjustable? like can the keyboard be removed just so you have the dock or is the dock and keyboard just a 1 piece accessory?
