Just wait another year and the next model iPhone will have a much more advanced haptic feedback than any other handset. Apple's rumored to have an iPhone in the works that the feedback is so good it feels just like typing on a full-sized keyboard and you can actually feel which key you're pressing. Sort of like braille, but with the shape of the letter sent straight to your brain.]]>May 14th 2008 11:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/samsung-dreaming-of-yp-p3-with-haptic-support/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/samsung-dreaming-of-yp-p3-with-haptic-support/
I think normally this is done with a very tiny electrical charge, that basically tells you the screen has registered your input.

I think it's a good idea, but having used an iPod Touch for awhile I'm not sure how much it would improve the user experience vs. the added cost (which however may not be much.)

It might actually help the soft keyboard though. If you press on a key, and before you lift your finger you can feel that another key has been registered, maybe you can slide your finger over a bit and correct it. OTOH, not sure how much different that is than just looking at the screen. In most cases I rely on the auto-correction feature anyway, which seems fastest overall since I don't slow down to make sure all characters are accurate.]]>May 14th 2008 4:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/samsung-dreaming-of-yp-p3-with-haptic-support/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/samsung-dreaming-of-yp-p3-with-haptic-support/

I use it all the time to talk on it.

Works pretty good too =D

If this thing had haptic, I'd jump at it without a second thought. I love my P2, but 4GB does NOTHING for me. I was considering getting a 16GB P2 before leaving next year, but I'll wait for this to come out perhaps.]]>May 14th 2008 6:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/samsung-dreaming-of-yp-p3-with-haptic-support/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/samsung-dreaming-of-yp-p3-with-haptic-support/
Haptic on phones usually means it vibrates when you hit something, i'm not sure about this particular phone but i know i haven't heard about any USEFUL haptic feedback touchscreen technology, and i doubt that would go under my radar.

Unless i can dial a phone number correctly with the on-screen numpad, without looking at it, the haptic interface is broken and useless. Haptic is a buzz-word for "hey whoa, the same motor that vibrates the phone in silent ring mode vibrates when i push a button on the screen! wow!" that's not tech, that's crap.]]>May 14th 2008 7:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/samsung-dreaming-of-yp-p3-with-haptic-support/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/samsung-dreaming-of-yp-p3-with-haptic-support/
hey, noob, read the article, THEN post...]]>May 14th 2008 7:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/samsung-dreaming-of-yp-p3-with-haptic-support/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/samsung-dreaming-of-yp-p3-with-haptic-support/May 14th 2008 8:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/samsung-dreaming-of-yp-p3-with-haptic-support/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/samsung-dreaming-of-yp-p3-with-haptic-support/They decided. Because their latest Touch-Screen Phone 'Haptic SCH-W420 (in Korea)' is quite popular(100,000 units a month).]]>May 14th 2008 8:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/samsung-dreaming-of-yp-p3-with-haptic-support/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/14/samsung-dreaming-of-yp-p3-with-haptic-support/
