No matter how nicely this is integrated. It is backwards thinking.
It is ABSOLUTELY possible to type fast on the iPad/iPhone virtual keyboards. It is possible to touch type on these keyboards as well. No you can't do it the same way as a mechanical keyboard, but it isn't that difficult. You just use different physical cues, not your finger tips.
Also, if you are going to type something that is going to take a little time. Why not just take a $69 wireless keyboard out of your bag?
The point of an iPad is you don't have to carry around a bag, at that point you might as well just carry a laptop. I'm constantly replying to emails throughout the day so I'm all for anything that can makes that more convenient.
