My Sister has an iPad 3 and would like a keyboard for Christmas. I quite like the look of this one: http://www.google.co.uk/products/cat...ed=0CFgQ8gIwAg but it isn't listed on the Apple website anymore so not sure if it is compatible with the iPad 3. All of the other keyboards seem to be wireless but surely one that physically connects like the wired one is better for a tablet? Otherwise you would need to prop the tablet up.

Any recommendations please?

It is almost certain to be - all iPads prior to to the (very new) iPad 4 use the same connector.

Many people like Bluetooth wireless keyboards for iPads and these can be a lot smaller (some are built into lids of certain iPad cases - see eBay for example).

It depends on how much typing she will be doing!

I'd stick with the Bluetooth keyboard, personally... Especially if your sister ever wants to type with the iPad in landscape orientation.
