One thing that would certainly be nice for the iPhone, is some sort of feedback when you press an on screen key. The reply to that, is dilemma, is haptic feedback. that technology has already made it’s way to quite a few touch devices, like the Voyager on Verizon, and the LG PRADA. Haptic feedback provides a type of virtual interaction with with a device, it helps simulate a more traditional key stroke.

The aim of haptic feedback is to produce users aware of a touch interaction with their device, such as a key stroke or selection. The technology is most often used by LG for

their touch enabled devices. In the game of haptic feedback, Immersion is a major player. They currently supply the haptic feedback for LG devices, several Nokia devices, and even a few non mobile phone applications of the technology as well.

There has been a little executive organization amidst Immersion and Apple as well. Clent Richardson has been appointed as the new CEO of Immersion. Richardson was a former executive for Apple. that may lend that story some more credibility. Haptic feedback would be welcomed with open arms, so lets hope that one comes to fruition.
