If it was possible, it would get round the sheer awfulness of typing into the iPhone or iTouch. I might even buy one... -- Peter

I might even buy one... It might look strange with a keyboard dwarfing the docked iPhone/iTouch's screen? :) I you're thinking like that, I think you're in the market for an iPad...

But it would be in the seclusion of my own home, so the shame factor would be very low. > I you're thinking like that, I think you're > in the market for an iPad... Hmmmm.... A different price category (especially as I already have an iTouch) and a very different size for walking about with... -- Peter

That logic only holds if you're not thinking of carrying around the keyboard dock! Actually I'd already reached the conclusion that if I needed to carry around a keyboard dock, I might as well just continue to carry around my laptop. So if I were to go down the path of an iPad to replace my iBook for normal use, I would leave one keyboard dock at work and one at home. As an aside, it is interesting how apple have recycled the word iBook. It's almost as if they are pressuring me to upgrade, since they've even retired the *name* of my machine... |
