What do you think about it. I might get an iPad and the iWork suite. Then when I need to do school work (assuming that I can type faster on the Wireless keyboard) I’ll use the wireless keyboard. does that sound alright. I figure that ends up around $630 and that is around what a laptop costs. and I have an at home computer to hook it up to. I was thinking about getting these four items, instead of a laptop. Sounds good?

Manufacturers are rushing to get in-wall iPad docks to market, but so far we haven’t seen much. We’ve seen tabletop docs for iPad, and we’ve seen in-wall stations for the iPod. We’ve also seen the slick iPad in-wall from Savant.
Now we finally have a picture of the forthcoming CM2000 in-wall iPad dock from iPort.
Keith Rose of Inspired Electronics, Palatine, Ill., posted the above photo on RemoteCentral.com.
He says, “The iPad looks really cool in the wall. very flush, paintable bezel, solid construction. They did a nice job on it.”
The CM2000 will retail for $499. Currently, dealers are debating the price of the dock in the “comments” section of our original story.
iPort’s Jason Sloan points to market research that indicates $499 is “solidly in line with where our dealer base wanted and expected the products to price out.”
Savant’s product is priced at $350.
Both products will be demonstrated at CEDIA Expo 2010.

First Look: iPort In-Wall iPad Dock – CE Pro Article from CE Pro

The iPad is a beautiful gadget. it deserves to be sitting upright on your desk for you and all those passing by to admire.
If you’ve seen the original Apple iPad Dock you may have questioned why they chose to design it so poorly – the width of the dock is only approximately 1/3 of the iPad. Even Apple’s own website is rife with complaints by unhappy iPad customers. you can just imagine how easily this can be knocked over. Not very nice thought when even the cheapest model is around $600 worth of hard earned gadgetry. we spoke to our gadget manufacturers overseas to address this issue. the result is our very own Mr.Gadget iPad Dock above!
Its main feature is the wide solid base which is almost the same width of the iPad which means that it’s far more harder to topple over. the Mr.Gadget iPad Dock is also coated in grippy rubberised plastic which adds to extra holding power of the device. if you have an iPhone or iPod, you’ll also be able to charge and synch your devices here. I can’t forget to also mention that it comes with a snazzy blue LED charge indicator.

We’ve seen many iPhone/iPod docks in the past, but how often do you see an alarm clock that allows you to dock your iPad to it? if the iPad were to turn on at 6am in the morning, the brightness from its display would probably be good enough to wake you up, though maybe that’s what the manufacturers were thinking of when they came up with the iHome iA100ZE iPad Dock clock radio. this dock can be set to sleep or wake up with your iPad, iPhone, or iPod, and you’ll be able to listen to music through its stereo speakers. Bluetooth is also included to let you stream your music wirelessly across the room, and you’ll be able to use the huge display on your iPad for custom alarms, alerts for weather, news, and stocks. The free iHome+Sleep app allows users to view social network updates and also track your sleep patterns. Pricing or availability wasn’t mentioned just yet, but hopefully it doesn’t break the bank.

As beautiful as they may be, virtual keyboards can’t replace the speed and precision of typing on physical keys. if you actually plan on doing work on an iPad, you should probably buy Apple’s integrated keyboard-and-dock.
Once you attach your iPad to the dock, you can begin typing in basically any app that has a text field: e-mails, URL addresses, documents, etc. No setup is required. if you want, you can plug your iPad power cable into the back of the dock to charge your iPad while you type, but it works just fine even if the keyboard’s not plugged into a power source.
I’ve had some time to test the iPad keyboard for the past few days, and the experience is quite liberating. without modesty, I’ll admit I’m a really fast typist (180 WPM is my max), and typing on the iPad’s soft virtual keyboard was daunting and error-prone.
The addition of a physical keyboard transforms the iPad from a couch-surfing media device into a lean-forward productivity tool. I particularly enjoy using the keyboard for chatting, writing e-mails and paying bills: Punching in credit card numbers and addresses with a virtual keyboard is a huge pain in the butt.
The experience, however, is still slightly awkward compared to typing with a traditional computer keyboard. though the keyboard dock is designed specifically for the iPad — including keys to launch the Home screen or a Spotlight search — there are some functions that don’t work with the keyboard. for example, in a drop-down menu, you can’t use the arrow keys to move up or down the items in the menu; you have to just tap the touchscreen.
Apple did say during its iPhone OS 4 event that improved keyboard integration is coming in the next OS, so one hopes these issues will be resolved.
I also think it’s particularly disappointing that you can’t dock the iPad horizontally onto the keyboard to view the screen in landscape mode. the iPad’s only docking port is under its Home button, meaning the only way you can plug it into the keyboard dock is in vertical mode.
A lot of apps that involve typing, such as IM+ or even Apple’s Mail app, look a lot better in landscape mode, and it’s a shame we can’t use them that way when docking on the keyboard. I’m typing this blog post on the iPad docked on the keyboard, and I gotta say: Writing in a portrait-oriented screen is weird.
Although the keyboard will enhance your productivity on the iPad, it won’t completely solve the tablet’s shortcomings as a work device. Any app you open takes up the entire screen. not being able to view other media and notes while writing a blog post like this one, for example, feels stifling.
Apple has announced multitasking is coming to iPhone OS 4, which will partly address the problem, because you’ll be able to switch between apps much faster.
Bottom line: for what the keyboard dock does, it’s pretty pricey at $70. Apple’s wired keyboard for Macs costs $50, and I would hope the iPad keyboard matches that price tag at some point. Nonetheless, I think this is a crucial buy for professionals and students planning to do some serious work on their iPads.
