Both AbleNet and inclusive technologies had an iPad mouse at their booths. I did not have a chance to use the one at IT but AbleNet's is REALLY sweet and works with head mouse as well as traditional mouse. Wireless mouse does not work well.  

Both companies are awaiting approval from Apple, which they expect in 3-4 months if not sooner. Price is expected to be between $325-$400.

Interesting! Looks like slightly jerky/jumpy movement from the video, but a great option. Hope it's less than the predicted $350 --

Saw this video on Twitter this morning.  Exciting news IMO.

 

World first: AMAneo BTi enables disabled people to operate iPad & iPhone by mouse.

Until now, it was not possible for you to control your iPhone or iPad with a mouse or a mouse replacement.

With AMAneo BTi you can now operate your iOS device with any assistive or ergonomic mouse.

It works with any iPhone 5s or higher, iPad 4 or higher, iPad mini or higher, without any additional app. Simply connect AMAneo BTi by Bluetooth: the touch pointer will appear on the display.
