Question marked as
Which will not work with Apple apps. See this from their FAQ list: Apple does not provide native mouse support for iOS. The Citrix X1 Mouse communicates directly with Citrix Receiver as opposed to communicating with iOS. Citrix X1 Mouse and Citrix Receiver utilize Apple’s publically supported APIs to establish the Bluetooth communication (BLE) between the X1 Mouse and Citrix Receiver. The mouse functionality is only available on XenApp and XenDesktop hosted apps and desktops and Citrix ShareConnect, ShareConnect and GoToMyPC mobile apps, the mouse will not function for other iOS apps. The mouse can also be used on a non-iOS device, in which case the X1 Mouse behaves just like a standard Bluetooth 4.0 mouse.

The naysayers are simply seeing the fact that there are very few customers for it.
Puniad,

Csound,
I agree...but should this be the only reason? The ability to build a business case? In my company, that attitude is killing us, while smaller companies look at trends and invest.

Apple is a business, clearly they should behave like one and build 'business cases'
Johnny, I'm not sure what you mean by "policeman, Service providers like myself" as a response to a reason for wanting a mouse.

I am hard pressed to think of anyone less suited to a tablet with a mouse than a policeman.
To keep unsuspecting users from thinking that there is any possibility of an iPad ever being able to supporting a mouse.
and this is a large market
A large market that has done a very poor job of making a 'business case' that makes any sense to Apple.
When one hand is occupied with your gun and the other has your tablet, how on earth can you use a mouse.
It would be nice to see some evidence of it.
You can wait for Mouse support to be added for as long as you want, it is not my time that is wasted so it will have no effect at all on me.
I've seen mouse support on older iPads. So, it can be done. So, "fact" is a little overkill.
deleted, my comment was already suggested by another post.
Why not listen to the requests of your buyers and not summarily dismissing them before you learn their why's? Kodak didn't listen and look where they are now!
You are not speaking to Apple here. Apple did not dismiss your request.
