Dan, when you are in the notes app, for example and there is a text field
with all that you have written, can you read this by line with the keyboard,
or is it like it is when you simply touch the text field and the entire
field is read?  Thanks.

Neal

Hello Marcy,
you use the touch screen for all functions. I think the keyboard is really
meant for doing a lot of typing. Of course, we don't really know what OS 4
will have in it, as far as the keyboard docking device is concerned.

read things and to perform the different functions. Who knows what might be
the situation in 4.0.

would probably take up less space on a desk or table than the iPad plus the
aluminum wireless keyboard sitting on a table or desk together. Is this
correct? Does the iPad somehow fit into the dock or does the iPad just sit
flat on the table and connect to the dock? Also, I didn't find the post that
talks about the special keys related to iPad on the dock keyboard; would you
mind re-posting this? I did see a post earlier about function keys on the
aluminum wireless keyboard that work with the iPad but I did not see a post
about special keys on the dock keyboard to which Dan appears to refer.
