Just so we get the facts straight, Apple has not "patented" this, at least not yet. They have filed a patent application, which just published under USPTO guidelines. The application has to be examined, which could easily take one or more years, and if allowed by the patent office, will then become a patent.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I love my little computing companion but I often find myself missing a full sized keyboard. I have been looking at several of these portable and flexible keyboards, but I can't seem to make up my mind about which I should buy. I don't want the keyboard to be overly expensive, but I want it to be good quality. Also, how difficult is it to type on these keyboards? Thanks!"
