The docking keyboard won’t be coming out at the same time as the iPad. CNN reports the keyboard will be delayed until May (the iPad’s supposed to come out in April). LR’s Erik Schwartz and I (both Apple freaks) wonder if the keyboard was a hack – an afterthought added once Apple realized most of us hate typing on touchscreens. Apparently we’re not alone – writes CNN’s John Sutter:

“[T]he iPad’s full-size, touch-screen keyboard feels a bit goofy at first. I don’t look at my hands when I type, and on the iPad there’s no way to make sure your fingers are tapping the right keys without looking down to check. The whole screen is glass, so you can’t feel the difference.”

The keyboard dock will cost $69.
