Bluetooth keyboard for iPad?

[Pigotti]

I been search around the net recently and found out that it seems to be possible to pair the small Apple Bluetooth Keyboard with the iPad.

Anyone here using this combination? And is it worth it? How is the experince with iWorks etc.?

Yes this works, you can even use the "eject disc" key to pop up the internal keyboard. Very nice combination. I tried it once i got my iPad as I have a bluetooth keyboard for presentation floating around here.

Is this the same bluetooth keyboard shipped with iMacs?

[gary m. meiers]

Yes, it works. You can get the dock, but this keyboard works like a 100 times better.

Get it, it's worth the $$$, if you plan to use iWorks, it's a must have imo.

How is it set up to iPad? Just enable BT and that's it, or does this require a jailbreak?

Just turn on bluetooth in settings, thats all you need. iPad will recognizeyour keyboard

Only you need to turn on bluetooth and pair keybord. This doesn't require a jailbreak.

BTW, all of the special keys (brightness and music controls, etc) work on the Apple Wireless Keyboard. I have the keyboard and I sometimes use it as a (very expensive ) remote.
