Definitely a bit more interesting than its iPhone use.

Hmm...

First a keyboard and now a mouse. Are people trying to turn the iPad into a netbook?

What part of netbook-are-cheap-and-crappy computers that Steve Jobs have been emphasizing didn't make sense?

And this BTStack download is only available via jailbreak which Apple does not condone.

Really? Link? I don't see that claim being made there - but I could have missed it.

You do need jailbreak.

You don't need magic mouse, any bluetooth mouse will do.

This works well! I can see times (maybe just a few) where it will come in handy.

As for LogMein (and other VNC clients) it does not work so well, as you have two cursors and have to press-drag to control.

Did the video really need to be almost 10 minutes long to demonstrate this?
