Without a mouse word processing is much more difficult. Highlighting takes too long, so when I want to copy/paste it takes 3 times as long as if I used my laptop (so I only type on my edge if it the only available electronic device in proximity)
Thanks for the question Gary
The mouse clicker works! I'm able to click on things and it activates.
I have a MS wireless mobile mouse 3000.

My bluetooth Mobile keyboard 6000 also works (see bt keyboard thread on this forum).

Life is good... except my PE gets unresponsive sometimes and reboots. It's either because I'm running the lcd to e-ink app or the bt services. I haven't traced it down yet.

Also, most of the free apps I've downloaded on my edge does not install, which is a bummer, but all the IP camera software has worked so now I use the PE as a surveillance monitor. It works quite well for that purpose, and since I got tethering to work, I can view what's going on around the house almost anywhere.
