Does anyone know if N900 support Multiple Bluetooth (mouse and keyboard) at the same time?
Like enable mouse and keyboard through bluetooth.. or is there a bluetooth keyboard that have a usb support? lol

Its kind of useless to have a keyboard but no mouse. If it is possible it would be the best tablet ever + phone.

I know that there is no way the USB OTG will work. So bluetooth with Mouse is the only hope.

So far I only see 1 thing at a time.

Having a keyboard makes a lot of sense -- a mouse on the other hand does not. There is no pointer on the screen, you wouldn't know where to click, and the interfaces aren't made for it (how do you swipe off-on screen to enable text selection, etc?)

Yes, bluetooth keyboard is supported. Mouse will pair, but no functionality.

Damn I was hoping it could work. Would be nice though to have both mouse and keyboard working. When you plugged the device to a big screen TV.
But I think future update may fix it?

Thank for the answer buddy

The mouse could be made to work on previous versions (N8x0). Hopefully someone will get it to work again soon. It can be quite handy!

AFAIK the mouse cursor is not missing, but just transparent, so should be quite easy to swap it whit a traditional one.

You wouldn't need a mouse/pointer if everything could be controlled with the keyboard ...

Although HID bluetooth profile can be enabled manually (for pairing wireless keyboards), many hurdles remain before using the keyboard as previously (on the N800). Apparently, the default layout setup matches the SU8W layout. On maemo 4, you could configure the keyboard layout in the control panel, choose a generic layout and specify language locale.

See this thread for info:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=34872

To tell the truth, this is a show-stopper for me, so I stay with the N800 for the time being.
