Another highlight is the same dock but with a keyboard attached. The iPad keyboard dock has the brushed aluminium keyboard as used for the iMac, which is certainly a very attractive device. The dock comes complete with the usual 30-pin connectors, and it enables you to charge your iPad, via the USB power adapter using the mains power supply.

You can also use your dock to connect up your camera, using the correct connectors, that makes it great for use with a your favorite cameras. The iPad's touch screen keyboard is great for short notes, but if you want to write anything of length then you want a proper keyboard.

Using the keyboard dock, you can pretty much use the iPad as a touch-screen desktop. This is bound to open up the iPad to a massive market, when compared with Apple's other desktop offerings, the iPad is very cheap.

It's bound to be among the top iPad accessories out there.
