Demonstrated on a 770, as it seems - really intriguing.

Now if that doesn't sound promising...

Very impressive. Not sure I'd want to get a device with a moving screen though -- won't there be some reliability concerns?

Well, any technology has to go through extensive reliability testing, but 0.1mm is really a very small movement. Not sure if it any more significant than the travel any touch sensitive/non hard cover touch screen would have.

Yes, indeed.

When Nokia recently unveiled the touchscreen version of S60 (first phones due out in 2008), one of the main selling points is its support for tactile feedback when you select something:

This general topic is definitely the missing piece of the mobile interface jigsaw puzzle, a way to get the best from both touchscreens and keypads. I don't know who will do it first or get it right first, but eventually we will see some kind of feedback as a standard feature of touchscreens.
