The wireless keyboard is the standard Apple wireless bluetooth keyboard. The keyboard dock has additional iPad function keys that aren't on the wireless keyboard. From what I understand, the iPad keyboard dock still uses a design similar to the other current Apple keyboards: aluminum and flat key layout.

I notice you can get the keyboard dock or you can also get a wireless keyboard. I wonder if this is a special wireless keyboard or if I could connect my bluetooth keyboard; I still have the old one with the numeric keypad and the battery compartment on the bottom and I actually have one that I'm not using right now beside the one I have on my mini. Not that the keyboard and dock are that expensive once you've done the original outlay of money but just looking at all the angles. 2. I see a usb power adaptor here. Does that mean there's a usb port? If so, I wonder if I could connect my aircard and if it would work. The aircard is Sprint and has software but at least on the Mac, as I recall it doesn't actually have to be installed. That's a big "if" but if it worked it would save me quite a bit of money as I wouldn't need the 3G model and data plan. Maybe I'm wrong about that though; maybe I'd still have to buy the 3G model for the aircard to work? I realize this particular question might be wandering down the offtopic road a bit so I'll not pursue it a lot here but if anybody knows the answer I'd appreciate knowing. -- Cheryl "Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer."
