Hello,
Just for the heck of it, I paired my new wireless keyboard with the iPad and
this is what happened. Other than a few keys working, for all purposes, the
keyboard didn't work. For example, if I hit the eject key, it would say hidden
or unhidden. The alpha/numeric keys just gave off a Bonk sound and nothing was
written on the iPad's screen.
When the keyboard dock arrives in a few weeks, then I will use it for some
things. Also, I'd bet that at some point, drivers were made for the wireless
keyboard to work with the iPad.
