Keyboards and Keyboard/Mice Combo Sets

According to the blog about this new iPad keyboard here:

http://blog.logitech.com/2012/04/18/invest-in-your-ipad-with-something-more-than-a-case/comment-page... 

It states availability in April, but it's still only up for preorder.  Is there a timeframe for physical availability yet?  Also, I posted this comment in the blog, but it's still awaiting moderation for some reason (while other posts have been released).  My comment (questions) to the blog:

"This looks very nice. But essentially this keyboard is acting like a Smart Cover. I know the Smart Cover will move around on the iPad, and I wonder if this keyboard will as well. I also wonder if this keyboard can be used with an iPad back cover?"

My main concern is with the keyboard moving around on the iPad when attached, and possibly causing scratching because of this.  Overall this looks to be a very good keyboard for the iPad, but I hesitant to preorder without knowing exact availability or having the above questions answered.  Thanks in advance for any info.

Well, it looks like internet reviews are coming in for this keyboard now.  And it was announced this keyboard would be available in April, so hopefully not too much longer.  Reviews look to be quite positive, though I'm still concerned about the possibility of the keyboard scratching the iPad's screen when carried around.

Any word yet on when this keyboard/cover will be physically available?

Also, does this keyboard use Bluetooth 3.0 or 4.0?

Hello, I have one of these and really like it alot. I had the Zaggfolio, but the main problem I had with that was the iPad would jostle loose out of the slot way too easily when not on a desk (i.e. on my lap). Also, the Zaggfolio was quite a bit thicker and heavier than this Logitech. Two questions: 1) On the new iPad (3) there is usually a voice dictation button you can press to dictate instead of type on the screen. How do I bring this up with the Logitech keyboard? Is there some shortcut? 2) Ctrl-C doesn't work. I know that there are dedicated keys to "copy", namely FN-7, however, when I'm in a SSH or Command Prompt session via Remote Control, I would like to hold down the Control key and press C to 'break'. Can this be enabled somehow? Thanks in advance! Tony

I have bought one for the new iPad, but it came with no instructions. I have not been able to get the bluetooth to synchronize with the iPad.

Any suggestions?

Also, an having a problem getting support, since there is no part number nor serial number. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
