Excuse the interruption ......

Why would a product that is meant to be used in informal setting ( on a lap,
in a coffee shop, running around the house) need a keyboard?  Would not a
cheap PC or Netbook do the same thing?

Yes, I know the answer, but it is useful to remember that special purpose
tools do NOT do everything.  Having the capability to do everything raises
costs, lowers battery life, and generally dilutes the true nature of a
product.

Marketing not-quite-101.....

I have seen several sources say that it will be able to use a bluetooth
keyboard, but cannot find that on apple's site
