I still think even this will not replace the definitive feel of physical keys, but it could really do away with the major drawback of touchscreens.]]>May 21st 2010 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/toshiba-brings-texture-to-touch-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/toshiba-brings-texture-to-touch-video/May 21st 2010 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/toshiba-brings-texture-to-touch-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/toshiba-brings-texture-to-touch-video/There actually was a device called "iSmell" that eminated aromas...it did not do very well, lol.

Yeah the first ones existed at the end of the 80's that I'm aware of.

Haptics is old. A meta material that pipes electricity into your body, not so old but not there yet.

I'm quite surprised at the comments here.]]>May 21st 2010 8:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/toshiba-brings-texture-to-touch-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/toshiba-brings-texture-to-touch-video/
While this is an interesting concept. It will use power, and if there's anything that portable devices are short on... it's power (battery life).]]>May 21st 2010 3:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/toshiba-brings-texture-to-touch-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/toshiba-brings-texture-to-touch-video/
I'll agree with chekhonte that the D-Pad design is terrible on the iPhone... but at this point I wouldn't want a device with real keys. It would slow my typing down considerably since I'd have to correct my own typing mistakes I would make trying to push the tiny little buttons.]]>May 21st 2010 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/toshiba-brings-texture-to-touch-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/toshiba-brings-texture-to-touch-video/
I can assure you I can type faster on a blackberry then I can on my iphone.


Different strokes for different folks, don't impose your person experience as fact on others.


also Iphone predictive text sucks...then again i mostly type in l337]]>May 21st 2010 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/toshiba-brings-texture-to-touch-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/toshiba-brings-texture-to-touch-video/Auto-correction is done in software, so it's not a virtual/physical keyboard issue, just a software issue.]]>May 21st 2010 3:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/toshiba-brings-texture-to-touch-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/toshiba-brings-texture-to-touch-video/

@SirNoDroin While you may be able to type faster, I still stand by my statement that the average person likely types faster on a touch screen device once they get over the idea that they need the actual feeling of keys there.
