Logitech announces wired iPad keyboard


Logitech announced an interesting new keyboard for the iPad. To date pretty much all keyboards have connected to iPads via wireless Bluetooth. The new Wired Keyboard for iPad, as the name suggests, connects to the iPad's Lightning or 30-pin dock connector via a cable. Logitech says the keyboard is designed specifically for classroom labs where keyboard are not tied to a specific device. Added bonus is teachers won't have to manage keyboard battery life.

The wired keyboard is expected to ship in August for devices with the Lightning connector and a 30-pin model is slated for October. The product has an MSRP of $60.
