You can use a bluetooth keyboard with any decent tablet - maybe with many indecent ones as well. Here's the one I have:
Here's the (oddly similar) Motorola keyboard:
(Note that these are basically interchangeable, though - you can use the Apple keyboard with the Xoom, or with a Windows computer if you want - I've used it with my netbook). You could also use a full-size bluetooth computer.
You can also buy an integrated keyboard case for some tablets - here's the Zagg keyboard case for the ipad
The Zagg case won't provide extra power to the tablet like the Asus case, though.
I'm not really a big fan of the integrated cases, though. If you want to take a BT keyboard with you, you just throw it in the bag. But if you have an integrated keyboard, you have to either: (1) take it with you all the time, because it is also your case; or (2) take your tablet out of its other case and put it in the integrated case when you think you might want the keyboard...and switching between cases is a little cumbersome.
Plus, I kind of think that if you are going to be always wanting to have a keyboard with you, you might just be better off with a laptop.
