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.

  • Does the iPad support flash player yet?

    Does the iPad support flash player yet?

    As has been said here many times now, Adobe has ceased development on all versions of their mobile Flash player, and since the chances are vanishingly small that Apple will ever develop their own, iOS devices will probably never natively support Flash content or apps. If Flash capability is criticial to your needs, you'll probably want to choose another device, though even Android and Windows phone and tablet devices are less and less capable of Flash support.

  • Does the iPad support Function keys natively, not through another program?

    I have my Operations department which needs to access a couple of customer databases through the web using a java applet. I do not want them to have to come to the office so we got them a netbook, but I was hoping that the iPad would be a better solution and quicker as well.
    But it needs Function keys, anyone know?
    Regards,
    D.Lehman

    The iPad does not support Java, so the issue of functions keys would be moot. The only way to run Java would be to use the iPad to take control of a computer, and whether function keys in that scenario would work would depend on the remote-control solution used.

  • Does the ipad support adobe digital editions?

    I would like to publish my book as a digital edition for iPad. However, the book is a PDF which comes out beautifully on Adobe Digital Editions, and I can not find any information about whether ADE is compatible with the iPad or iPhone. This leads me to believe it isn't. Kindle does not support PDF, either. Can't ADE just be downloaded to iPad or iPhone and then just used to when a book is purchased in a PDF?
    Any info. will be greatly appreciate.

    No, there isn't anything on the ipad that can display these files and I'm not aware that adobe has given any indication that there will be. There are many other pdf readers, but they can't open ADE files.

    Any discussion of jailbreaking an iPad on this forum is against forum rules.  If you want to take the chance of bricking your iPad and negating your warranty with Apple, that's your choice.  But you're on own and won't get ANY support from us users who would never think of jailbreaking our devices.

    Why does the iPad not support flash player? I would like to watch programming from att uverse but cannot because of this restriction

    Because NOTHING that is iOS supports Flash. Never has never will.
    The only possible option is to try the Skyfire browser from the App store. It is an internet browser that converts flash to HTML 5 so that you can attempt to view it on iOS devices.
    I have never tried it so I can tell you if it is any good, but it has gotten decent reviews.

  • Does the iPhone support "Disk Use"

    Does the iPhone support "Disk Use" like the iPod?

    You can purchase a Mac Mini for $600. Connect your existing monitor, keyboard, and mouse to it and you have a Mac that includes a CD/DVD drive.
    If not, once you factor in the same hardware doing a side by side comparison with a PC box assembler, a Mac is not as expensive or more expensive as you might think. Take out needing to purchase anti-virus, anti-spyware and anti-adware software and the associated annual renewal cost, along with access to software included on a Mac that probably requires an additional purchase with a PC such as iLife, and the cost difference is decreased.
    That and the ability to run Windows natively on a Mac if needed or wanted, and you basically have two computers for the price of one. The cost comes down even more with this factored in.

  • Does the Ipad2 support .epub (ebook) files?

    Does the Ipad2 support .epub (ebook) files?
    And: does it support websites built with flash?

    Epub boooks are supported. There are a number of different ebook apps, and generally books are locked (due to digital rights management systems) to the app/retailer that they were bought from e.g. iBooks (Apple), Kindle (Amazon), Barns & Noble, Nook - so won't be able, for example, buy a book from Amazon and read it it iBooks, you'll have to use the Kindle app.
    Flash is not supported on any iOS device (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch). Some apps claim to (e.g. Skyfire) but judging from the reviews the results are varied. More info on why it's not supported here http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/

  • Does the iPad 4 read ebook for vst?

    I have an iPad 4 with 64GB of disk space, I'm runnig iOS 6.1.2.  Over the years of the iPad I've moved my technical library from hard copy to ebooks.  Most of my books are PDF or ePub which work well on my iPad.  I've recently run across a new ebook format that I'm not familar with call "vst".  Iooking to purchase a very expensive book the comes in "vst" or PDF.  I prefer to use an ebook format that allows me wot make notes and highlights which ePub does and PDF does not. Does the iPad 4 support "vst" the same way it supports 'ePub"?
    Thanks

  • Does the iPad air purchased in Hong Kong valid in Canada about the 1 year warranty?

    Does the iPad air purchased in Hong Kong valid in Canada about the 1 year warranty?

    Hi Courcoul,
    Thank you very much for your help!
    Here's our situation. We are in the satellite offices, meaning in the trailers, where we have wifi set up. But they will be walking into the construction site often, but I'm not sure if they would need internet connection there...
    Now I just spoke with one of the team members who arrived from Japan yesterday WITH their iPad Air, and my manager was impressed with it (hence my manager wanted to have some for his onsite staff).
    According to them, they won't be needing internet connection in teh construction zone, but just computer (data input or reference), then when they return to the offices, they will connect with the WiFi.
    My dilenmma is that there are TWO version sold in the US:
    1. with Built-in Wi-Fi(802.11a/b/g/n) with MIMO support
    2. with Wi-Fi+Cellure
    And he does want the option to insert SIM cards when they return Japan, but doesn't want to sign up with any US carrier...
    Does it make sense? Which one should they choose???
    Thank you!
