That makes the whole keyboard cover for Surface really interesting. Microsoft has made keyboards for many years though so I am hoping that they are aware of possible problems and hopefully will be able to avoid it.

I agree, the Surface keyboard cover looks like it might make it the best of both worlds...a tablet that I can actually use on the road with me to get some typing done, and then docked at home into my normal keyboard/mouse/monitor. As it is now, I hate typing so much on the iPad that I use it mostly like a larger phone. Just a little tactile feedback will go a long way.

BTW, I'm still awaiting my TouchFire to arrive, and I'm still hopeful that it improves touch typing on the iPad, especially since this review was a bit of a mixed-bag

My apologies, I should have replied to you:

While waiting, try out the new Logitech Ultrathin for iPad. It's a real keyboard with great touch feel and all the coder keys, with the smart magnets to cover iPad face, and a brilliantly positioned slot to angle it in that gives you extra inches on an airline tray.

I've taken three cross country trips and countless trains to NYC, Boston, or Philly, all on one charge. No longer need a laptop for travel.
