The dock connector is identical to the USB version used with the iPod/iPhone/iPod Touch. I used the same one with my iPad, iPod Touch and 5th Gen iPod on Saturday.
I expect to get my iPad dock/keyboard on Wednesday. Got my iPad case today at 9:35 a.m. (it spent the weekend in Sacramento), and am so glad I bought it. The iPad is everything I wanted in an iPod Touch, including a bigger screen. Except that even at 1.5 pounds, it's awkward to use because it's too heavy for extended 1-hand use like an iPod Touch and it's too slick to hold with just one hand for very long. The case is light, but it is very "grippy" and gives me the leverage to hold it with one hand. Besides, just like my aluminum MacBook, the darn thing is ice cold, which is no longer a problem with the iPad Case. I used my iPad with an aluminum bluetooth keyboard and the case folded so it was standing upright like a laptop this afternoon. What a trip! I would enter text, then go to mouse to another spot on the screen before I realized I had to reach over and do the mousing with my finger on the screen. Someone's going to figure out how to make a bluetooth mouse work with a touchpad screen, and they'll make a small fortune. :^) I'm already halfway through my first mystery novel bought from the iBookstore Saturday, and I suspect I'll be reading lots more in the days ahead. My grandson is a nuts about the elements right now, and is building his own collection. So I bought Theodore Gray's "The Elements" app, a 1.75 GB download. What an absolutely extraordinary way to demonstrate everything that's wonderful about the iPad! You can twirl elements slowly or quickly with a finger swipe. You can buy 3D glasses and see the images that way. There's a Tom Lehrer song that's just the name of all the elements (which my grandson memorized and sings along with). Best $13.99 I've spent on an app. Jim Scott On Apr 5, 2010, at 6:31 PM, Christian Wacker wrote: > Here's my question: Is the dock connector identical to that of the > iPhone\pod or is it bigger? > > On Mon, Apr 5, 2010 at 8:30 PM, Ashgrove <[email protected]> wrote: >> Austin, >> >> I'm curious.
