A short product review on the Logitech bluetooth keyboard by Zagg. I have been using this product for about a year now and love it. The primary reason that I feel it is the best keyboard for an iPad is that it allows the iPad to be removed freely.

It "humanizes" the farm and ranch to the mainstream public, actually interested in more than crazy shoes and cute fashions.
