Wasn't familiar with it and just looked at it briefly - have you tried using the AWT mouse provider? That might simply work "out of the box". > Is there anything preventing Pivot applications from running on the new RIM > Playbook tablet which supports Java? What about Android based tablets? The biggest hurdle is that neither of these devices support Java2D, which is what Pivot uses for rendering. Also, Pivot requires Java 6 - RIM's Java support is based on JavaME (JDK 1.4), and Android is based on Java 5 (though it may have support for some Java 6 features). So, while it is theoretically possible, it's a pretty big leap. So we're currently focusing on trying to provide the best toolkit for cross-platform desktop app development, and we'll keep an eye on things in the mobile space in case an opportunity comes up there.
