From what I could find, some USB keyboards can be connected through
Apple's camera connection kit which includes a 30-pin to USB adapter:

The article mentions the USB port also works for mics, MIDI gear and
other stuff.

When you say 'regular' do you mean a USB keyboard or a regular
bluetooth? I haven't tried it but there were lots of messages on this
list talking about hooking bluetooth keyboards to iOS devices. There
is no USB port on iOS devices but that's not to say somebody hasn't
come up with some kind of dongle which will allow you to do that.
Probably not worth the cost compared to just getting a bluetooth
keyboard.

before I
saw the post.
Is there no way to connect a regular apple keyboard to any ios
device? You
know the way one can connect one to a laptop?
