Apple Keyboard Dock (top) and Wireless Keyboard (bottom).What if I don’t want to use the on-screen keyboard to type in long e-mails?
You have other options. Apple will sell the Keyboard Dock, a weighted iPad dock attached to a thin Apple keyboard. When using the external keyboard, the iPad’s onscreen keyboard disappears, letting your document fill the entire screen. The iPad also supports Bluetooth keyboards, so you can type without having to physically connect the iPad to a keyboard—though you will want to prop the iPad up somehow (with a dock or case or other stand) so you can actually see what you’re typing.
