Immersion, a company that specializes in mobile technology, has developed inexpensive tactile touchscreens that could find itheir way into a mobile phone near you. Now before you scoff at the thought of a phone with a touchscreen that provides tactile feedback think about the applications that could take advantage of the technology. The touchscreen can provide the sensation of physically pressing buttons so on-screen dialers can provide an experience like their keyboard counterparts. Phones with a stylus can benefit from the tactile feedback that a button has been pressed. Immersion is in talks with handset OEMs so this might actually make it to market.
