Say I am stuck in a datacenter and I need to ssh through wired networking to a server -- sure I'll definitely rather use my Mac laptop, but just in case... But would it actually work?

The answer is... Yes -- but...

So plugging it straight into the USB-C port of the keyboard doesn't do anything. I.e.: the dongle is not recognised, and for what it's worth the switch doesn't even light up to say a cable is connected. So that doesn't work.

But plugging it straight into the iPad works... The network switch lights up, the iPad (under Settings) gets a new option called "Ethernet" (which oddly shows you a selection of connected adapters first -- but I don't know how you can have more than one). Clicking through you see the same options as you would for your WiFi network: IPs, DNS, etc.

Tadaaa!

I used an adapter from work, a Belkin, and I believe it's the same one that's being sold on the Apple Store. I don't know if any dongle will work though (driver-wise and stuff).

Probably not that useful but good to know.

Too big to be mobile, missing too many key features to be useful.

Actually, I guess Gizmodo said it all.

And besides that, no iPhone OS 4? No working iTunes? Anything truly useful?
