I'm pretty sure there were tweaks done on previous maemos that enabled mouse support, as for maemo 5, will officially support bt mouse devices? (Hopefully this is a yes)

I'm also curious about this. It would be a fantastic tool to be able to use open office with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Its one of the few things I'm unhappy about with my current NIT.

Seriously. That and a portable external screen, and BT keyboard. It's great in that you'd be able to optionally use the N900 as a portable workstation for more serious tasks (document editing/command-line work/coding/picture editing/etc).

Personally, I would prefer carying this setup around to my netbook.

This is a VERY niche application though, so I wouldn't expect official support on this!

well they already have tv-out and bt keyboard support. why not complete the package with a mouse support. but i guess eventually there will be hacks done to make this work. yeah i would love to have this replace my netbook as a portable workstation. haha

This enables the mouse in the N800 and N810 for Diablo and Chinook. So I guess it won't be too hard to hack (if at all necessary) in maemo 5.

very curious to see how this works, I'm new to tablets and maemo 5. Any video examples of this in action?
