I decided to borrow my iMac's keyboard to play.....it's pretty cool using both the touch screen and keyboard together. Tried to upload this pic via iPad, but when I went to manage attachments all the choose file buttons were grayed out as if the website did not recognize the HD of the iPad.

Eject button shifts touch keyboard in/out
Play/ffd/rew work itunes
 
Esc dismisses the autocorrect popups.
Tab and Shift-Tab works to switch between form fields in Safari.
Option, Shift, and the arrow keys work just as you'd expect for selecting text.

The keyboard dock has a button to return to the home screen, as well as one to lock the device, but I can't seem to find a key or combination of keys to do either of those things on the bluetooth keyboard.
 
Command-A selects all text.

What sucks is there's no shortcut for the Home button and the arrow keys don't work for scrolling.
 
I tried it once and never bothered to do it again. Too much of a hassle to type on the keyboard and scroll and touch on the iPad.
