"immature"? no, sexist maybe. What about businesswomen?
Just a thought... being as it's 2008, not 1938!

At the risk of being labeled immature: The pr0n industry might just take this technology up and make it marketable for the masses

BS?
Personally I hate bad rip-offs.
If the iPhone only "just looks good" and "isn't quite a smartphone" why have Apple already taken 28% of the smart phone market?
I absolutely guarantee that every purchaser isn't either a Mac fanboy or sad marketing dupe. Some people recognise true design innovation is much much more than skin deep.
You RAZR has such a pathetic market share because it's a much bigger compromise than anything Apple would ever design or sell.

I've got an idea to enable unassisted free flight using mind over matter - without the aid of drugs, but you'll have to wait until the end of 2010 before you can use it!
And Arthur C. Clarke invented satellites, but it was a while before someone else built one.
There are ideas, and there's innovation, design, implementation.

I am so happy Korea manages to make a product on the level of the iphone, it instills confidence in me that progression knows no borders or nationality. go humanity!
With a name like 'haptics' it's the next Betamax and HDDVD, Microsoft and Dell.
Don't reply now, just remember that someone you don't know once predicted that one day the world will be rid of the crap grouped together here.
Companies that make good decisions survive. Who's adopting haptics and who isn't?
Who backed HDDVD? Who inflicted Windows Vista on the world? Who left a screaming idiot in charge of the shop? Who managed to turn a premium PC manufacturer with a direct selling model into a bargain basement company?
If you want to get into the predictions business, understand what success consists of.

Especially on a fanboy site such as Macrumors...
Thats what this site is for... too be as biased towards Apple as is humanly possible.
Yes, because haptic isn't a new technology or anything. It's not like it's still a technology at it's very early stage.
I would like for you to tell me one thing the iPhone does that no other phone has done, years before it? Oooo, I can spread my fingers and make the page grow. Visual voice mail is about the only cool thing it has other than the design.
You're another delusional fanbot. I wish the world was rid of your kind along with any other fanbots (MS, Sony, Ford, etc.)
It's funny you're attacking MS, yet it was MS that allowed you to get your iPhone, remember that. If MS didn't invest in Apple, they would have been LONG GONE. SO I guess you can say, MS is your daddy.
Doing something first is not the only standard by which to judge quality. Doing something well and usefully and with distinction is arguably more important. For instance, you refer to all of these not-so-memorable phones that preceded the iPhone, that could supposedly do almost everything the iPhone can do.... Well if they were so great, then why is there suddenly 50 times more internet usage on the iPhone than on any other handset? I'll tell you why. Because it's better.
Eureka! I think you might have just tapped into Microsoft's core competency: a source of funding for Apple. It's just too bad they don't have any value other than that! I hereby suggest Microsoft should morph itself into a venture capital firm whose sole purpose is to bankroll Apple's R&D.

this is a more in depth video of its capabilities
pretty insane
I'm excited to see what will happen with iP2.0...

Video is awesome in the true sense of the word! When would something like this be publicly available?
This is probably one of those features that 90% of people on here will hate unless Apple include it in a future iPhone. Then it will become the best thing a phone could ever have
Haha, best post ever.
Not biased at all, are we?
I thought it looked like a crap imitation of an iPhone with all manner of features that were there... just because they could, unlike Apple who design features that reflect the way we humans work, and actually make our lives easier by being intuitive.
But before you throw back the sarcasm about bias, let's just look at the feature that causes the photos to slide left and right as the phone is tilted. What happens when one accidentally tilts the phone? The ****ing things go anyway - whether we want them to or not. Great!
This one is for idiots. It will last for 12 months at most and won't even get a 1% market share. It's a copy, and a bad one.

Thanks for posting the article. Just amazing.
Ah, thanks sleepingworker.
Is it just me or is this technology destined to go the way of the net?... straight to the pron industry?
I can see the spam piling up in my GMail filter now: "She can feel your m****r 2000 miles away!!!"
Anyone want to make a million? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

1. You're the one actually sounding like the "fanboy" here with your pro-MS claim above. It was the iMac and the iPod that allowed people to get iPhones, Skippy.
2. Ahh the "MS bailed out Apple" myth rears it's head again. The truth of the matter: at the time MS "invested" 150 million in Apple (BTW Apple had over a billion in the bank at the time of the supposed bailout), It was being sued by Apple for violating Apple's patents on QuickTime; it had copied parts of the QuickTime codec to use in -you guessed it- Windows Media.
MS "invested" in Apple to save it's ass from yet another lawsuit.
You should know about something before you write about it.

lol, well, the military, the entertainment, and the adult industries have certainly helped usher in new technologies.
