Mouse, Touchpad
Can I attach an external keyboard or mouse?
Most USB keyboards and mice work fine. However, avoid "PalmPilot keyboards," as these use IR (infrared), and "wireless keyboards," as these use Bluetooth—neither of which are supported on the XO laptop.
Is there a stylus for the touchpad?
No stylus support is currently planned for the XO.
