iPad Bluetooth Mouse with iPad??

[Cirlonde]

Is it possible to use a Bluetooth mouse with an iPad (specifically the newest iPad)? I'm looking into the Splashtop app in order to be able to use a Java program for work purposes but ideally, I'd really need to be able to use a mouse to navigate the program.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

You can't use a mouse with an iPad because there is no support for a pointer and the controls would not respond to a pointer anyway as the interface requires touch.

It is possible with a jailbreak. I don't remember the specifics, but I have seen it discussed before.

Thanks for the replies! We did find the jailbreak option but it seems unreliable and more hassle than it is worth. I think I can make it work using a stylus even if that's not the ideal situation. Hopefully, I'll only need it in rare emergency situations that just can't wait for me to get back to a computer.
