The iPad is all well and good, the surf or look up information of all kinds and to have at hand. But if you from time to time so that reads emails and possibly answer briefly want the on-screen keyboard for this is useless for me. I have the Bluetooth keyboard always near (shelf under the coffee table) and if necessary they will be switched on briefly one or two emails typed or Facebook info posted and it disappears quickly. The size of the keyboard is designed for such use, a good compromise in order not to be small enough bulky to be able to tap large enough to relatively normal and as it is stable (ie no flexible rubber mat) they may also be on his knees lay (purpose living room couch ).
The registration with the iPad 1 was quick and without any problems.
Oh important to know (I have learned from a review here) that can be reached via @ Alt-l!
