Have you ever heard the news that iPad has a wireless Bluetooth keyboard support? It’s a new thing from Apple, but just the thought of having that kind of enhancement for your gadget is quite an exciting thing to hear about. It is actually a laptop-style case which has three functions. This will serve as the case, the stand and the keyboard of the iPad. In order to read more about this product, attached below is the press release of the entire matter.
The ClamCase manufacturers have claimed this product to be a highly-quality rubberized plastic body and a sturdy hinge that will prop up the iPad in either landscape or portrait modes. With the 360-degree torque hinges, it can be positioned in several fixed angles. The simple and sleek design of the ClamCase will definitely support your iPad from unwanted scratches and dents. It will also protect your iPad from falls, breakages, even from dust and dirt.
The moment you open up the clamcase, you’d find an embedded, chiclet-type Bluetooth keypad which will make the iPad look and feel more like a laptop than a tablet (which is what it is). This case comes equipped with an LED power indicator, an on/off switch and a power-saver mode. The innovative wireless Bluetooth keyboard lets you type while leaving the iPad’s 30-pin dock connector free for a power cable and other accessories.
With this gadget, you can also connect to HID compatible devices like Sony Playstation 3, Tivo, and HTPC (Home Theater PC) to give you the best wireless keyboard experience ever.
The iPad ClamCase is rumored to be released this fall. There’s no news on how much it will cost, but since it is an Apple iPad accessory or enhancement, it will not definitely be cheap. The quality will speak for its price.
Although quite an innovative invention, I can’t help but wonder why people buy iPad and then just think of buying a ClamCase to convert the tablet PC into something that looks like a laptop. Isn’t it ironic? Or is it just another way to make the iPad more accessible and easy to use?

Why not buy yourself a laptop? Silly notion, I know.
What’s the point? I mean, they made the iPad (still don’t know why) so it would be smaller than
a laptop.. so why having something as big as a laptop.. and without usb support?
Useless.. buy an iPad for what it is, or just skip and buy a laptop in my humble opinion..
