I picked up a Targus Bluetooth keyboard yesterday from Costco to pair with my iPad 2. It came with little stand, stylus and cleaning cloth. The keyboard is excellent (plastic, but is similar to my Apple keyboard in terms of key size and travel, and tactile feedback) and the stand is handy, simple and sturdy. The stylus is one of the ones that uses a hollow rubber hemisphere for its tip but it works okay. If you're in the market, for $30 all in, it's a good deal. I just need a travel case for it.

(If you use keyboard shortcuts to cut, paste and navigate on your Mac, you'll find it doubly worthwhile. Most of the shortcuts I use in MS Word seem to work with this keyboard.)

I've used the keyboard for a few hours now and I can say the keys have a pleasing touch. They are slightly springier/spongier than the keys on a recent-vintage Apple keyboard. But for a guy like me who learned to type on a manual typewriter, this is actually a benefit.
