Virtual mousepad app desperately needed

Would a virtual onscreen mousepad app be useful to you?

You have a android keyboard how about a a Droid virtual mousepad? I have a nook color. At the best of times a touchscreen simply does cut it. You can't select an item simply because its way too small. A lot of mobile apps and mobile web pages simply can't be resized (zoomed into) to make selection of items easier.

Some common controls just simply don't respond well to a touch screen. The search button in the Google play app is one such. I can touch it, it responds with a click sound and perhaps a color or size change but nothing at all happens. Finally on the third or forth touch I gets a dialog. Cm7 and android itself is in bad desperate need of virtual android mousepad. The Puffin web browser has a mousepad option.

1. Mousepad could be dragged wherever needed
2. Sliding finger in the pad would move virtual mouse pointer over screen.
3. Single tapping inside the pad would do a single click. Dido for double.

Every web search and Google play search I have done only turns up some sort of virtual mouse for remote control of other hardware... 8-((
 
Are you referring to just tablets? I don't have a tablet so I cannot speak for those. I don't see a mouse pad being practical on a phone. The screens are small enough without a mouse pad taking up room. Any website I've been on I can pinch zoom to make selections easier.
 
The search button on the play store works fine for me on a single click. It has something to do with your device itself, not the need for a mouse pad. A touch screen is way better than s mousepad. Msybe your screen sensitivity has issues.
