Two issues:

Need landscape mode

Need to be able to adjust screen angle

Fix that and agree, a great platform for dedicated writing.

The Apple dock is not the best stand for the iPad, that’s for sure…

I use the keyboard dock for writing things on my iPad and I love it. It’s a little too big to fit into my laptop case but it’s a manageable size if I really need to take it with me. I rarely ever type in landscape mode anyway so the fact that I can’t turn the iPad on it’s side doesn’t bother me. Personally, I’m very happy with both the keyboard dock and the iPad as far as writing is concerned. I don’t get distracted as easy and all the information I may need is still at my fingertips!

I like the dock. Like you when I first bought it I was concerned that it would not be stirdy enough to support the ipad, but it does so with no problems at all. I think the dock makes it convenient to write on the ipad, I am personally a fan of the product.

Actually, what I was trying to convey is what a simple and beautiful setup the iPad in the dock and the Bluetooth keyboard is. Its like a typewriter from the future :). I’m well aware of full screen writing apps, but maybe it’s just my state of mnd that makes writing on the iPad “better” for me. Distraction can take many forms. An IM from a friend is one, but the option (temptation?) to stop writing just for a second, and check to see what’s going on is always there on a laptop. I don’t have that same distraction on the iPad.

… and the author’s whole premise is that a big advantage of using the iPad for writing is that it’s distraction-free.

That’s hardly a selling point for $600+ worth on gadgets and accessories if you can get them from your existing tools for free.

What I dislike about the apple dock is that you can’t just pick up the iPad and leave, you have to hold the dock down so it doesn’t tag along with you.

That and the fact that you can’t rotate it has me looking for a more useful dock.

I would like to find something that a: won’t scratch the iPad and b: is small enough to carry in my backpack so I can use it on the airplane.

I haven’t got the stand but would like something similar that could in someway work in landscape mode as well. Obviously not docking in landscape but an alternative to portrait would be good
