Trio of ‘thin touchscreen phones’ inbound for Nokia later this year?
One look at the N97 will tell you that Nokia intends to take this whole touch thing pretty seriously, and considering that we’re talking about the largest handset maker in the world here, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that they’ve got new touch models in the pipe; the volume and style of those new models, though, might be a little shocking. TheStreet.com is reporting “people familiar with the plan” as saying that Espoo will launch up to three different thin touch-enabled models by this fall using the VibeTonz tech it licensed from Immersion back in the day, suggesting that the company’s more traditional non-touch S60 devices might have to start to share the spotlight equally with touchier brethren. VibeTonz should give Nokia plenty of options for tailoring haptic feedback based on user interaction, but here’s our question: what the hell ever happened to Haptikos?
