    Fujitsu announced a new technology yesterday that let's users feel things on a touchscreen.

    You can read about it here:

    I really would like to know how it feels.
    I think this really is the future of touchscreen devices.

    What do you think? Do you think it would be something standard we see in every device in a year?

    I've heard about this before and it did get me curious as to how it would feel as well. I do think it will be the next step in touchscreen technology and I would really welcome it since I am one of those consumers that is a little dissatisfied with the feeling of pressing on touchscreens. I imagine it would be infinitely more pleasant to type on a phone with haptic feedback, given that they do it right, and I can't wait for it to finally become a thing. I am assuming it would take more than a year for it to completely catch on though.
