Anyone tried this yet?

Seems like a pretty good idea if executed properly.

I have a Touch Pro, so any comments specifically to that would be appreciated as well.

Well, I usually like to get some comments before I go and install something.

I did just give this a try and it's definitely interesting, not sure if valuable yet.

On my Touch Pro, I can move the cursor around by ussing the arrows around the center key.

I can't figure out how to simulate a mouse click though.

Anyone?

One place that I could see using it is when I'm surfing this site on Opera Mini. It's very hard to hit that little go to new post button with your finger.

Hopefully, someone could help figure out how to make a mouse click happen on the Touch Pro.

I just installed the trial version on my treo800w, works perfec, i can undertand why would you instal this app, sometimes you cannot use your stylus, so this be a great app to use one hand, i like it, iam not going to buy the full version though, i installed SPBMobileShell on mine to make the icons bigger, so i can use my fingers when i cant use the stylus, hope that helps....

There is? How do I access it?

I don't see one. I don't see anything in the settings. Maybe I'm not on the right Java or Opera Mini version to get the pointer?

EDIT: Oh, I am seeing an pointer now. Not sure how I missed that. I'm definitely going to be using that feature. Wow, that's really going to be helpful. It was next to impossible to do one handed operation to click the view recent posts on forums like this.

Still, anyone on a TP figure out how to make this program do a mouse click?
