Does the iPad support a mouse?
I have an iPad2. I would like to use a mouse in conjunction with the iPad2. Are there any good solutions?

WTM,
Philly_Phan is correct, even if a little abrupt.
The iPad iOS is "touch screen." There is nothing for a mouse to move -- there is no cursor.
(Yes, there is/are "insertion points" in search fields and other places where you start typing, but they function different than what a mouse can do.)
Some bluetooth keyboards (apparently, I am told, I haven't checked this out myself) can use the arrow keys to move to an insertion point.
It would seem to me that some users with some physical disabilities could use a mouse better than a finger...maybe Apple will allow the technology in some limited fashion.
Abrupt?
Hey, I answered the question in its entirety!
Yes.
You did.
And I even said you were "correct."
Let's not start a pflame.
Lighten up. You're taking this much too seriously.
Phily_Phan did nothing wrong. the answer is no; no explanation needed.
Come on now: no one likes to be told to "lighten up."
Play nice.
Phily_Phan did nothing wrong.
Agreed. This is a tech support forum, not email and not Facebook. Relax.
If you are looking for finer control on the iPad and better a clearer view of the display, take a look at the following video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHhB2BF5yQM&feature=youtube_gdata_player
The author, kobausks, has several videos posted of his pinpoint stylus efforts.

Please provide a link to this specific device. I find no iPad mouse on Logitech's website. Only the Logitech Touch Mouse Server, which does NOT add a mouse to the iPad, but turns your iPad or iPhone into a mouse. (Technically a trackpad.)
So I did not ask "why". I asked "where".
sorry, i went back and checked. the mouse had a typo saying it was for ipad. it is actually for android
I am interested in the "Logitech bluetooth iPad 2 mouse" as well đ
