The Odd Duck Apple iPad Keyboard Dock is No More

Apple products tend to have functional elegance and beauty. This is evident in everything from small items like their headphones to larger ones like their iMac desktop computers. Every now and then, however, even Apple’s designers have an off day and produce an odd-duck clunker. Last year, that odd duck was the keyboard dock for the iPad. I pre-ordered one sight-unseen expecting it to be a slick and functional product design that would let me fold up a full-size keyboard for use with my iPad for heavy duty writing.
