I think you mean iP
ad above, no?
And yes,there are bluetooth keyboards available for it. One example is
this, which doubles as a case and stand. The iPad is a general purpose tablet, so a means of keyboard entry will be useful. The question will be what sort of word processing apps will be available.
I use a folding keyboard with my old Palm OS PDA. It connects via IR rather than Bluetooth, though BT models exist. I have apps on the PDA that let me deal with Word and Excel files, and an excellent word processor for
creating text on the device.
That said, while I
can use the device for stuff like that, it's an "in a pinch" action. The small screen is a drawback, and the folding keyboard is nowhere near as easy to type on as the full sized model on my desktop.
