    Belkin has just announced the availability of their $99 iPad “Folio” case that includes a battery-powered Bluetooth keyboard that would, in theory, turn your iPad 2 into a full-bore mini-computer.

    While I, personally, have never been able to use a keyboard/tablet combo with any exuberance, I suspect that this kit, complete with 60-hour battery and a full iPad stand – might make for a better experience.

    If you’ve been dreaming of turning your iPad into an ultrabook, this may be your chance.

    Keyboard Folio for iPad 2 (F5L090) – $99.99
    • Premium suede-like feel with stitching
    • TruType™ keys for comfortable typing
    • Tri-fold design tucks keyboard away to keep screen protected
    • Adjustable angles for viewing and typing
    • Rigid backplate for stand stability
    • Bluetooth connection avoids messy cables
    • 60-hour active battery life
    • Micro USB port for charging works with standard cables
    • Compatible with iPad 2
