[QUOTE="allan_vancouver, post: 1034503, member: 140554"] [b]Apple BlueTooth keyboard works on iPad[/b] I have used my Apple BT keyboard (the new one that came with my iMac 27" last November), on the iPad and it works. There are two (minor?) issues: 1) The iPad needs a stand or case, whether you use the internal keyboard or the external BT. I have it on order from the Apple Store. 2) Once you turn on BT on the iPad and connect to the BT keyboard, the iPad no longer displays the touch keyboard. Turning off the BT keyboard does not cause the iPad to return to the touch keyboard; you have to disable Bluetooth on the iPad settings. It would be nice to have both types of keyboard work together, i.e., if you walk out of BT range the touch keyboard ought to return.\, or, better yet, be able to easily switch back and forth using a simple touch of some kind.
