Haptic Feedback May Come to iPhone

April 26, 2008
Whether the rumors are true regarding Apple working with Immersion to add haptic feedback to Apple's touchscreen devices is true or not it seems obvious to me that every touchscreen device needs to embrace this tactile feedback mechanism. The way it works is when you press a button the device emits a vibration which is more like the feedback you would get from touching a real key.

I for one have never been a fan of the onscreen keyboard that Apple provides on it's cellular phone. Haptic feedback would help and I am sure Apple is exploring adding the technology to its devices as to do otherwise would put the company at a disadvantage in a competitive market.
