Since that whole Revue thing didn't go over so swimmingly (http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/29/logitechs-disappointing-q4-results-not-helped-by-poor-revue-s/), it looks like Logitech's going back to its accessory roots, with a manic hope that tablet add-ons (http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/10/logitech-trots-out-100-keyboard-case-for-the-galaxy-tab-10-1-h/) are the future (http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/16/logitechs-clip-on-tablet-speaker-latches-onto-your-slate-for-de/). The company just announced a fold-out keyboard for the iPad 2 that's pretty much what it sounds like: a keyboard split in two whose halves flip out and connect to form a full QWERTY. As you can see in those shots below, you can still use your magical, candy-colored Smart Cover when your iPad is docked. At $129.99, it's hardly a cheap doo-dad and frankly, we would have hoped for higher quality. In our brief hands-on, the keys felt unstable and stiff -- an ideal combination for anyone who thought their iPad needed more chintz. Pre-order it at the source link if you must, though you might do just as well gawking at our pics below.http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/18/logitech-announces-130-fold-out-keyboard-for-the-ipad-we-go-ha/
