Obviously I watched the video. My question was about the need to connect a mouse to a device that has a completely usable touch screen interface. Connecting the external display device via hdmi should not blank out the tablet and force the use of a mouse. Rather, one should be able to use the tablet's screen as the control interface.
- whiskers 16y agoI'm not sure it does "blank out the tablet and force the use of a mouse". If you've got your video going to an external display then that is where you're going to be looking. It's not possible to interact using the touch panel if you aren't looking at the touch panel itself. So either plug in a mouse or keep glancing back and forth between the TV and the device. * Making the entire devices touch screen a big trackpad during HDMI output would probably be nice though!

- stcredzero 16y agoWith a mouse, you can hover and see the position of the cursor. With the touchscreen, the device doesn't register your finger until you tap (click)
