I have one that doubles as a stand, and a case. It's indispensible when i'm getting inundated with instant messages and e-mails while trying to goof off!
Do you use a Keyboard?

Buggrit, I managed to vote 'soon' instead of no. I did have an apple BT keyboard, but I literally just sold it. I thought I would use it for blogs, long emails and the productivity apps (pages, numbers etc). However, I have found that the enhanced functionality of the on-screen kb is too useful to miss. Hold down a key and get every variation of the accents etc, or additional punctuation options. Automatic expansion of .com addresses, auto capitals at the start of a sentence and the really handy double space to add a full stop. Also, the custom keyboard for data entry in numbers for example is needed to enter data, formulae etc which the physical kb cant do
So, back to the OSK for me.....

Yes - it's nearly 2:1 in favour of keyboards.
The superscript/subscript issue is not really a keyboard problem, though. Even a 'normal' PC keyboard doesn't have that on - it's more an app issue - and a very annoying one at that because, as you say, the workaround is tedious!!

I am a touch-typer and the onscreen keyboard does not work for typing - HOWEVER - this a classic "no mans land" issue.
The iPad does not yet have enough functionality to replace my laptop - so any significant typing can be done on the laptop. Lugging around laptop + iPad - adding a keyboard would be just too much.
My current focus is replacing my paper notepad - am currently trying different note taking apps - so I can at least replace that.
Then going to focus on using Dragon dictation or write-pad to get typed text. Keyboard will be last resort....

Rocketfish keyboard
I use the Rocketfish bluetooth keyboard when I travel for business. This is great when using Logmein Ignition and trying to get real work done on the road. It's just like typing on a real laptop.
Otherwise, I just use a leather folio and a stylus to take notes with Penultimate.

I've got the standard Apple wireless Bluetooth keyboard. --> Apple - Apple Wireless Keyboard - Explore the cable-free, incredibly thin keyboard.
I usually use it when I have to do lots of typing that has upper/lower case letters and mixed numbers and letters... It's just too awkward using the on-screen keyboard for this.

I have the Apple keyboard, but haven't hooked it up yet. If I have anything longer than a sentence to type, I go to my laptop.
