So, i'm just posting this here because i think its useful information, but there may be better forums. I recently purchased Logitech's Tablet Keyboard for the ipad. Its a great keyboard, bluetooth-enabled, and while the ipad (and ipad software) has a way to go to enable the functionality that a keyboard engenders, its a big step towards making the ipad a productivity/creativity device. Instead of, you know, an Angry Birds device.
Anyway, i've got this great piece of hardware, and i use it also with my desktop (after purchasing a Bluetooth dongle). Unfortch, this keyboard doesn't have a "delete", "print screen", or "escape" key. not necessary for the ipad really, but definitely for using your desktop. I found a nifty solution in AutoHotKey, http://www.autohotkey.com/, which allows you to remap functions to any combination of keystrokes. You create small scripts that run in the background and specify your keymappings.
I was able to get my logitech keyboard to use the above commands by running a script with the following commands:
^1:
end {ESC}
^=:
end {Delete}
^P:
end {PrintScreen}
You can acutally use this program to do all sorts of neat little shortcuts (e.g., #space::Run www.google.com), but i've only just downloaded it today. Sorry Logitech for the 3rd party advertisement, but it totally enhances your hardware!
Hope this helps someone!

Just want to point out that Fn-3 brings up the iPad's on-screen keyboard, which has Esc, Del, PgUp, PgDn, etc. It's a two step process: bring up keyboard, hit key, but it works ...
