Hi I don't know about a usable touchscreen but
Maemo is also somewhat "usable" without a touchscreen.
it is possible to show the cursor see[1]. of course it doesn't feel right
as the maemo UI is best used on a touchscreen.

I guess it really depends on what your interests are.
a wiimote also sounds like a good HID device to interact with maemo

What I tried during the Danish week-end was to use a camera attached
to the beagle to view a laser pointer on an image displayed with a
beamer and it almost worked... :(
