René , I guess some might consider it a necessary accessory. I got to use a wacom touch screen a few years ago with built in computer screen and would lay it on my lap and found that using the keyboard was not as desirable or productive as just popping up an onscreen keyboard. But I guess for some serious typing the keyboard might be helpful.

But as to Sarah's blog comment, I disagree with even thinking of this iPad thing as a 'working computer'. My iPhone is not a working computer, my other smart phones (7 of them) are not working computers. I can get a certain amount of 'productivity' out of all of these devices. Some of that productivity is very very useful and appropriate for the situation and device on hand. I wrote a 42 page scope of work on my iPhone up at camp but only because I did not have my laptop with me. And although I was on vacation it started raining for two days and so I decided to get some work done in the quiet solitude of camp. It would have been good to have had an iPad at the time but even better would have been my laptop. But if I planned beforehand to work up at camp I would not consider either my iPhone or an iPad but would pack up my laptop instead.

By this point I followed the blog of Sarah : "Numbers and Pages will make this a working computer, rather than just a portable communication device". I think that for a "working computer" the keyboard accessory is necessary (not only accessory ;-)

You do not need to add the keyboard dock accessory since it has the almost full size touch keyboard! And trying to push the iPad to be a laptop is not the same thing as either a netbook or a laptop.
