Connect a USB Mouse to Your PDA

Wednesday November 19, 2008
TekSoft is offering two new pieces of software that will make it possible for you to connect a Bluetooth or USB mouse to your PDA. Although PDAs are mostly focused on mobility, and thus their users are accustomed to working without a mouse, there are some instances in which this functionality would be handy. You will need a device with a USB hot or a CF (Compact Flash) card slot to use this functionality. For CF users, TekSoft offers a SolarExpress CF Card that will enable the device to act like a USB host. Unfortunately, this leaves out many of the new PDAs that are more compact and nix the CF slot to save space. Thankfully, TekSoft has a Bluetooth option as well with a software driver called BlueInput that lets you connect a Bluetooth mouse. Pockenow.com has some videos to further demonstrate the functionality.
