The next most recent post links to a good how-to on hacking in the mouse. However, it would be nice to have something that is easy to enable/disable depending on whether you brought the mouse along or not.
That said, amongst all of the other features associated with this sort of thing, how receptive is everyone to setting up a bounty for the most desired features?
Clearly this device has potential beyond all it's peers in the handheld space (if you count Palm and PocketPC among peers,) and I know I'd like to engage brighter minds than my own on features which would be of significance.
Ideas?

Once those modifications are done (and they need to be done unfortunatly) then all mice will work with the device (although using a USB mouse would be quite sily :-) ) and the touch screen also works at the same time, you don't need to undo the modifications to get the touch screen back. All that is then needed is a gui wrapper for the 'hidd --connect' command and to switch the cursor theming on and off (but requires a reboot for them to appear :-( )
It would be quite nice to add that to http://770.fs-security.com/maemo-bt-plugin/ and I would be willing to do the work save for the fact that I no longer have access to a 770 since the work was done on a placement which has now ended :-(
Wouldn't have though it would be too difficult to do mind...

Hi,
where is the bluetooth mouse for the Nokia N770 or N800 and functions the Bluetooth driver
( http://770.fs-security.com/maemo-bt-plugin/ ) Yes or No ?
This Google Map - GPS application needs it - very fast
http://www.marengo-ltd.com/map/
Thanks in advance

You'd need to think of some way to make the pointer visible when the mouse is connected.
... And to make it invisible again when you go back to stylus. Because, and trust me on this, nothing is more annoying than having a mouse pointer popping up under your stylus.
