This folding keyboard (and I mean EXACTLY this keyboard, maybe with different branding) can be bought all over the world for at least 10 years! I bought it 10 years ago in the Czech Republic and I saw it being sold in Germany, Hungary and Dubai - all of those more than 5 years ago.

Didn\'t Targus make one almost exactly like this? I seem to remember having and using one with my Treo 300 way back when.

No USB adapter on the iPad. So unless they have a built in connector, this is a nog for the iPad.

yeah here it is. The Targus Stowaway: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_h-NF-aTz-9o/Sq6P9eA_GXI/AAAAAAAAAuA/KKPGP15IFIc/s400/419798SV02L.jpg

This is the old stowaway wireless ir/bluetooth keyboard with a USB cable port. I use one and it works very well. Why they never had a USB cabled version might be a good question.

I have one of these at home. It\'s at least 5 years old. From the days before the ubiquitous usb port, anyway--the connection on it is to a PDA that has long since died. I\'m glad someone put a usb port on this! Anyway, if it really is identical to mine, it\'s a nice little unit. Now to go buy one. (I doubt there\'s an adapter).

This is a copy of the Palm Portable Keyboard! Even the application buttons on the right side! Judge for yourself...

Not at all new. That\'s the old Targus Stowaway Palm PDA keyboard with the interface changed to USB. The shape, the size, the way the ends slide are identical to the one I had years ago for my Handspring Visor Platinum.
See it here for the iPaq 3600 http://the-gadgeteer.com/2001/02/16/stowaway_portable_keyboard_review-2/

Before it was Targus Stowaway, Palm Portable, etc, it was actually designed and manufactured by a company called \"ThinkOutside\". I have one.

I think this keyboard no use, desktop computers do not have access, IPAD also do not need.
