I haven't seen one in person, but since the design is similar enough, I thought I'd ask if anyone knows if the keyboard unit from the W500 tablet might happen to work with the A500? I can see logic going both ways, but if someone has had the chance to try it out, I'd love to know how it went!
From what I've researched on the W500, the keyboard uses USB, and will not work for the A500.
That was one of the things I was most excited for was the keyboard for this guy. It looks like it hasn't been released, but I'm sure they will end up making one at some point.

i am a little confused i connected my dell keyboard into my A500 and i was able to type with no problem so if the W500 uses a USB keyboard then i would think there should be no reason for it not to work .

For USB, it means that is uses an USB port...
Surely you can use a USB M to F cable or plug your A500 vertically on it...

Well, that photo certainly clears up my questions - I mistakenly assumed that the W500 would use the same dock connector, but they're clearly more different than I anticipated!
Here's hoping that we'll get a similar keyboard setup at some point as an accessory. Until then, there's always bluetooth, which is probably a good enough solution that I won't bother with a specific keyboard if it is released...
It seems that keyboards and other accessories can now be ordered direct from Acer's online store - for those of us in the US anyway. No photos yet. But it appears that the items are available.

A500 Keyboard??
Just saw an interesting post on TechniDroid. Guy claims he spoke to someone at Acer who confirmed there will be a keyboard dock for the A500. Since I'm a newbie on this forum I can't post the link unfortunately.
If you search "Acer to have keyboard dock for a500" it should pop up.

You must not have seen the w500 keyboard if you're asking that question. Look it up and it will become very clear why it wouldn't work on the A500. A sad sad day for us all. I too was looking forward to that keyboard dock with the superior A500.
Sorry for digging up the thread, but Acer now lists the keyboard on their site. It's not a dock, completely separate, but it looks very nice.

This looks to be a handy portable stand. The Xoom and the Acer are very close in depth (12.9mm vs 13mm) so I suspect it should work with out modification. A lot less expensive than the dock and available today !

I bought this based on your post. It looks EXACTLY like the acer store version and it better be. I'll let everyone know. This is a great purchase if it's on the money.
I've got one of these on order: http://padpivot.com/ I ordered it when it was first on Kickstarter so not sure when they'll be on general release.
Looks nice!
I went round the corner to maplin and asked did they have any spare stands they use for their tablets, they gave me one lol
Let me know if anyone else has any luck...
I did try the actual Xoom's protective case. Unfortunately, it does not fit. The Acer is wider by about 1/2 inch. I had to return the case and order the one now offered at Staples for the Acer. Just an FYI if anyone is curious

I have held the Xoom and Acer side-by-side. The size is actually quite different in both length and width. The Xoom is smaller on both counts.
However, the iPad is wider than the Iconia, and the Iconia 20mm longer than the iPad. I have found that the Iconia will fit in some iPad sleeves. Provided there is a bit of 'give' in the iPad sleeve's length.
Anything that is purpose built for another device though (with specific dimensions in mind) is hard to adapt.
Also, 10" netbook sleeves and cases have proven to be quite good with the Iconia as well. Often there is a little wiggle room which is handy for cables and chargers.

Received it today and it works great with the Acer. I have it setup on my desk slightly tilted back and the tablet is much easier to see and use. It's very adjustable and very stable.
Also got a DAGi stylus to use with it (see picture). It works much better than a rubber tipped one and is much more accurate. Also, no fingerprints !. But it's something else to carry around.
I just picked it up from Staples and so far so good. It does what it says although it doesn't seem like there is a way to keep the front cover flap secured to the back when in use. I'm not sure that I care all that much about it though. Otherwise seems like a good deal for the money.
PS. It seems to be the official ACER case.
hmmm. sort of ugly.
Got the dock from Acer. Wanted to throw a few pics down as well as a review.
In your review... you state: "you can NOT dock the tab with the case on".
Are you referring to the Acer case? I was thinking maybe it was thin enough that it might allow docking? Thanks!!

i just ordered the arkon stand from amazon for $10.98 with free 2-day prime shipping. should come by wed and i'll write up about it.
I'm not thoroughly convinced that I need a keyboard with my device, but if I was going to buy one, it would have to be either very small or very thin. Why tote around a keyboard that's just as large as the tablet?
Any ideas?
Of course, there's always this: http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/keyboards-mice/8193/
(if it was ever in stock again).
I am currently using the Acer wrapping with an Incase faux-fir slip case, so I'd hope that it would be low-profile enough to fit in there.
I am curious as well. what are the best keyboard/case combis that we can get
If you give me 24 hours I think I may have a pretty small keyboard that may work for us. I just need to test it first to make sure the BT connects properly. Feel free to contact me 'if' I forget to hop on and post findings

Also, a prerelease product info page on an interesting BT fold-up keyboard:
https://jornostore.com/
that jorno is nice but not for that much!!!! you can get a flexi keyboard bluetooth on amazon for around 30
I was considering getting the Motorola atrix keyboard.... i have the atrix so that with bluetooth on the tablet would work fine specially considering the android function buttons..
I have the Moto keyboard (Link) and for the most part it's a very nice unit. The only real issue with it is the massive bump in the back where they put the batteries and whatever else they have packed into it, that and not all the short cut keys work, but I am not sure that is the keyboard.
It's worth the purchase, and is very nice on the plane, but I find myself not carrying it locally just due to size. The Jorno looks like a great compromise for when I am more local but want to slam out a page or two...

Sure, it's not going to be the world's greatest keyboard, but I'm really just looking for decent yet portable. If I really need something more, I've got a Logitech K340 that works great. It's not bluetooth, but Logitech's USB receivers are so small anymore that it really doesn't detract at all.

Stand is great, but unfortunately the keyboard doesnt work natively, it uses spp, which you have to purchase a 15 dollar app to use it with the tablet, and the app is a piece of junk, returned the keyboard, now i gotta find a new one

The Prime is a train wreck. Check their forum. The Samsung OEM BT keyboard is amazing and serves the same function as the one in the Asus products. The difference being it doesn't add extra battery life. It does however double as a case and can be used keyboard down as a stand. Here's some pics of mine (disregard the Vaio). Keep in mind, no Android device can replace a laptop if you do anything but light work and don't collaborate. Faux-Office can't compete with "real" Office.

= The G-Tab's single battery performs better than the Prime's battery when not expanded via the keyboard.
Seriously, any one considering the Prime spend some time on their home page. It's got serious issues. The TF700 due out in a couple of months that has a different design and plastic border for its antennas is a better choice if you want a hard dock.
Oh, I'm happy with my 3G GTab101;
I'm only talking about docks;
Just don't tell me you wouldnt like Samsung to release/have released something like Asus?
It's aint magic alright; it is just a keyboard dock with a battery and a USB port.
But I sure would like something like this for my GTab. Thats all.
I work for tmobile and we have the 3g/wifi tabs, thats what i got. And they have a keyboard for $80 that has a usb port so thats what ill get. But im considering the sammy keyboard.

Truthfully, I don't get the whole "Android as a laptop replacement" thing. Faux-Office is just that, you can't use things like WebEx and SharePoint, and Ethernet connectivity either doesn't exist or has to be kluged. For light document creation, e-mail, note taking and the like I get it. I use my BT keyboard like 20% of the time. The little Vaio in the picture has a 256GB SSD, runs Windows Ultimate and Office 2010, and has VZW broadband. I'll take that before the G-Tab if I need to stay connected to the office.
As for Asus vs. Samsung keyboards, I like that the Samung reverses to be a stand and acts as a protective case at the same time. It has better key travel and feels more natural too. I have a ZaggSparq that I bring on long plane flights w/o power if I need to extend the Tab's battery.
It's all personal preference and how you everyone individually uses their devices.
Neither am I digging the whole "Android as a laptop replacement" thing; at all!
I dont have any bluetooth device; and am not planning to buy one as long as we dont see a serious.. let's say "standard" gamepad.
(I just cant understand why we dont see any)
As for Asus vs. Samsung keyboards; my point wasnt to say which one is the most comfortable or such;
Take whatever Sammy keyboard you like and just give it an extra battery and a USB port. .. But keep the price around 100$. Not 200$.
I think that it can be a replacement depending on needs. For my needs like multimedia viewing, web browsing, email and short papers but if youre developing stuff or mixing music or other stuff then obviously it isnt a replacment.

Oops, sorry, ignore that. Just realized the product codes were different, that one's for Apple.

Just bought the one you mentioned above; keyboard works pretty good but times out very quickly. It has to be reconnected in the settings every 15 minutes or so of inactivity. Typing is extremely fast and responsive though.
This keyboard is more of a universal keyboard than it is tailored to Android. It's got a home key on it, and the esc key doubles as a back key, but it also has a Windows logo key.
My biggest complaint is the folio case itself is extremely cheaply made. It's floppy, and doesn't really support itself very well. As a matter of fact, it almost makes it awkward to use. The keyboard is molded into the case and does not come out. The tablet is held on by one big sticky patch on the case. It doesn't leave any residue, but it does leave me wondering how many times I can remove the tablet from the case before it doesn't stick any more. Unfortunately the tablet doesn't fit into my car dock RAM mount while it's in the case, so I would be removing the case every day.
The case also covers the speakers on the Iconia, which muffles the sound pretty good.
All in all, like the keyboard, hate the case. I think it's way too overpriced to have such a crappy, flimsy, cheap feel to it. I think I'll be returning it.
Att sells a real nice keyboard. Very thin. 50 bones though
The standard acer bluetooth keyboard and acer mini usb mouse is the best combination I have found to date. I use this setup in the office. But to go mobile...this makes you carry around a keyboard no matter what. It's nice, not practical for daily mobile use IMO.
worth it
I got this keyboard, works wonderfully. Adhesive bit sticks nicely to tablet, keys travel well, And connects easily via bluetooth. Worth it if you need a keyboard. I've used it for school, taking notes, even writing whole essays on docs
I bought this keyboard for only 14 bucks
^Same as him. Works like a champ too, I would recommend it in a heart beat. I've had mine since Feb and its still in great shape plus, despite the look, it protects the tablet well.

@Kratoschile and @bobiscool07..... Perhaps either or both of you could explain to me why in a thread entitled "New Bluetooth Keyboard folio. Looks much thinner", you are posting pictures and comments about a USB keyboard?

Because Bluetooth is old school. USB is the way to go

I know most of you wouldnt be interested in one since it is a tablet but I'm jealous of the asus transformer infinity owners who have a nice keyboard/dock etc, theirs even has a trackpad to make it essentially a low powered laptop. I've seen various 3rd party bluetooth keyboards on ebay but none that look too impressive.
I'd definitely be interested in one. That was one of my cons when purchasing this tablet. Something integrated would be sweet!

The best solution I've found was a MoKo Keyboard case.

I've been using it awhile. My review is at the end of my Nexus review.

Best looking one I've seen yet, thank you sir! I like the idea of an Asus dock style keyboard, but the fact that this is in a case is nice.

Its not always the best- after owning it 6 months, it HAS saved my tablet from 3 drops (outlined in my Amazon review), but the loop that holds the closing strap is a tad loose and I'm worried it might tear. Otherwise I love it. Best of all, the keyboard's detachable without clips/knobs/anything that might snap.

I have this case as well, however I have it for only two days LOL, and it is already amazing to use, the keyboard is really nice and the best part of it being in a case is that you can take off the keyboard and use only the tablet . Also it has a really stylish finish, and it's comfortable to carry . Using this thing with a mouse and Complete Linux Installer gave me a very powerful Netbook hahaha
I didn't realize you could take the keyboard off, nice! yeah I'm excited; it's ordered. Hmmmmm linux on nexus 10......... interesting.

Yea, it's really good! I took some screenshots and uploaded here, it's nothing more than chmod and vnc, but 2GB RAM and Cortex-A15 processor is more than enough hahahaha!

Using the bluetooth keyboard, a normal USB mouse plugged on an OTG cable. Rooted. Running with CompleteLinuxInstaller (to boot up Fedora) and VNCing with Jump . Hope this makes this "Linux on Nexus 10" more clear . Hope you enjoy your case hehe

Thats Cool! I love ubuntu on my labtop, definitely going to do some reading and searching! Nice work!
I too would love to see an official keyboard, that makes use of the Pogo pins too, and maybe had some extra cool stuff. Perhaps Google just doesn't want anymore money though or something...
It Arrived yesterday. You guys were right this thing is money. The keyboard is a bit small for long typing session, but perfect for general everyday stuff! Couple of questions: Do you guys just use the nexus charging plug or something smaller? Does anyone know if the magnets on the case mess with all of the compass/ gyros/ accelerometor/ etc?

Haven't had it mess with any of the above. I use the POGO myself, actually.

Great . I typed half of my new one shot today lol (1200 words), I thought the keyboard was small too, until I got used to. And no, I don't think it messes with anything mentioned . Enjoy it!
