What is the reason why Apple does not provide bluetooth mouse support on IPad?
When using desktop emulation was quite important and productive dispose a mouse pointer.
The mouse support would bring more versatility to the Ipad, this Apple's position is incomprehensible....

An iPad is a touch-screen device. Apple is not here, this is a user to user support forum. If you would like to share your thoughts with Apple, do so here:
I don't think that the vast majority of iPad users use it as a desktop emulator. Usually new developments have a market demand.

I always thought they developed the touch screen so they wouldn't need a mouse. Just like the point and click mouse was developed so you wouldn't need to type commamds into your computer.
Hi You don't need a mouse for an ipad if you need one also get a cage & a wheel for it to Play on. Cheers Brian

Hi, its true, but try access a remote computer in your IPad and use applications designed for a point device touching the screen...and you will see what I mean.
Again, you are talking about a very specialized use for the iPad, so it is not likely that what you are looking for is ever going to be developed. Who would spend the time, money, and resources on developing a mouse for a few users out of millions?

While I feel your pain with regard to using an app like Splashtop or Team Viewer, I too believe to like the others here, that the iPad was developed with a touch screen to free one from the need of a mouse. The iPad was developed essentially to be an "all-in-one" "you don't need anything else to use it" device. Portability, ease of use and size were determining factors in the way it was designed,
After the iPad was developed, others saw ways that they could incorporate the use of an iPad with a desktop and that is a bonus, if and when it works the way it is designed to work. I don't know anything about anything, but I really don't envision a day when a mouse will play a prominent role in the use of an iPad. It's beauty is in the simplicity of use.
