I'm getting a iBook in 10 days I need a quiet, small keyboard for typing in lectures. I'm not sure how the iBook keyboard sounds, hopefully not CLAK CLAK CLAK, but it still may be a little loud. Does anyone know of any small, bluetooth keyboards? I've looked at the FrogPad: not sure whether learning a new typing method is a good idea and also a fold up 'Perfect' keyboard but it's for PDA's..not sure if it'll work with my Mac. Any ideas?
 
iSkin will quiet down typing noise

If you are concerned about typing noise, I recommend iSkin. All of my PBs and iBook have iSkin on their keyboards. I take my iBook when I am on the road and I don't hear tyical click-click typing noise when I type on iBook's iSkin-covered keyboard.
 
I don't know about fold up keyboards, but the apple one is really good, but it might be too big if you want to bring it with you.
 
Weirdly enough just ordered the iSkin just a few hours ago! Spooky. Hopefully that'll muffle the sounds enough. Any ideas of a good bluetooth mouse? I've seen some really good Logitech wireless ones, but don't want a wireless key sticking out my iBook...
 
the iSkin really will keep it quiet, and the iBook KB isn't too loud to begin with.

a lot of people really dig the logitech mice. I personally enjoy my one-buttoned beauty.
 
I've got spare Apple mouse...but man, after I got a Logitech MX 310 it's just a better build and I don't dig the whole mouse being the clicker! I was wondering what drains power more, a bluetooth connection to your mouse or an optical mouse plugged in? I'd say bluetooth but I'm not sure.
