    Hands-on: 5 wireless keyboards for the iPad 22 September, 2011 00:46:00

    Even if you're comfortable with the iPad 2's on-screen keyboard and can happily tap out a status update or quick email, you might not want to use it for tasks like writing a lengthy report.

    HP's PC division, by the (profit and growth) numbers 24 August, 2011 20:15:00
