iPad refugee challenge: can Apple Magic Keyboard communicate with Google Pixel Tablet, e.g. with RP2040/RP2350 for protocol conversion? Unlike iPadOS, Android will support VMs.

4-pin connector on the tablet, when looking at the back of the tablet.. (from left to right): ground, data, data, +12v.. two data lines (3v3 logic levels). Couldn't determine the signal type, but it was some kind of differential signalling - could still be USB or maybe UART.. The tablet charges just fine with 12V applied to the connectors!
Upcoming 2025 Apple Intelligence HomePad for smart home security control is expected to compete with Amazon Echo Show, with optional wall attachments and speaker base, later to be followed by $1K+ robotic arm, https://9to5mac.com/2024/11/13/apples-new-homepad-is-exactly-what-i-want-in-a-home-device/ https://9to5mac.com/2024/11/13/apples-new-homepad-is-exactly...
> they should just literally copy Google's Pixel Tablet strategy. iPads already have the connector pins, just give them a "Home Mode" for when connected to any of these special docks. Otherwise it's a stripped down iPad Mini
