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.

Subject: [macvoiceover] Looking at iPad accessories raises more questions for me

1. 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.
