At some conferences many have seen the completely wireless TI-Nspire Navigator cradle that uses that port. This should be coming out sometime this next school year.

Sorry about yelling, but I really, really, really want to be able to
connect a mouse to the TI-Nspire. It's so frustrating using the cursor
when one's developing complex documents... a mouse would make my life
complete! ;)

Back on March 16, Andy said, "consider the fact that the TI-Navigator system for the TI_Nspire will include a rechargable battery which will power both the wireless part and the calc when connected"
It sounds like we would enjoy using the Nspire Navigator cradle for more than wireless communication. We could use that (or something like it) as the dock to supply extra energy to run things like the mini-usb mouse and keyboard.

This is pretty much the only case where USB peripherals like mouse and
keyboard would work well. If there isn't a battery pack, then it
would have to draw power from the calculator itself, which would
probably kill the batteries.
Did anyone try using the mouse/keyboard driver app for the 8x calcs? What was the battery life like on that?

The TI-Keyboard that I've used to take notes, write scripts, and modify programs had its own batteries. It used the I/O cable port. I used it with the 89 and 83/84. I wonder what it would take to make that compatible with the Nspire. It did include special buttons like green diamond.

I've tried the TI-8x USB driver with a mouse and also with a USB
drive, but at the time there was not any software developed (almost)
that could make use of it, it was most published as proof-of-concept
demos.
It seemed like a nice idea, and a promising one, but then the Nspire
came out and I stoped thinking about mouse drivers for the 84 Plus...

A number of interface suggestions along these lines were made very early in the development of Nspire. My recollection is that these were NOT included because of the "testing entities"--College Board and ACT.
