The specifications stae that it supports;

Languages

* Language support for English, French, German, Japanese, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Russian
* Keyboard support for English (U.S.), English (UK), French (France, Canada), German, Japanese (QWERTY), Dutch, Flemish, Spanish, Italian, Simplified Chinese (Handwriting and Pinyin), Russian
* Dictionary support for English (U.S.), English (UK), French, French (Canadian), French (Swiss), German, Japanese, Dutch, Flemish, Spanish, Italian, Simplified Chinese (Handwriting and Pinyin), Russian

I would imagine more would come in due course as it is released in different regions of the world.

I was wondering would the new iOS 4 support having Arabic keyboard?


It is impossible to know, because no info has been released regarding the iOS4 that will be put on the iPad in the fall. The iPhone already has an Arabic keyboard, so of course iOS4 for that device has one too.

Logic tells me yes, but then logic tells me the iPad should already have an Arabic keyboard.

We will know Monday.


Not for iPad. Monday is only for iphone, and you can see already from the iphone 4 tech specs what keyboards are supported for that device, which includes Arabic.

It would be nice if the iPad would do the same when it gets ios4 in the Fall, but that was not the case with os3.
