I can see usefulness, especially with the visually impared. say you're trying to find an icon, drag your finger across the screen until you feel a rough spot, then you know your finger is on an icon that you can interact with... tactile feedback or the feeling of "textures" is a natural way of knowing what your finger is touching... its like those little nubs on the 'f' and 'j' keys on the keyboard... you dont have to look down at the keyboard to be able to find home row... the 'f' and 'j' keys on the ipad could be 'rough' to indicate your fingers are on the right keys for instance.
It's going to have iSmell technology. This for example will allow war games to emit the smell of cordite and smoke. Farm videos are not going to be so popular.

In other words: we are not involved with Apple or the iPad but if they announce anything like what we're doing we're going to go after them very publicly and try to get a big settlement. And they would be right to do that considering they are shopping their technology around. Personally though I sort of wonder as to the usefulness of this technology in a product like the iPad. It's neat, sure, but ultimately pretty gimmicky.
I thought the vibrate on key press was pointless at first, but I found that I really like to have that turned on. I think it just feels more natural to have the phone do SOMETHING when I type.
It is easy to say, "I don't see the point," when you have never experienced it. Many computing features that initially seemed pointless are now common place and standard. For instance, at one point sound wasn't that big of a deal and a decent sound card was seen as something for gamers only.
If there is an API for this texture thing and haptic feedback -- it could be a breakthrough for gaming apps...
According to Senseg they do. It's already been demoed on an Android tablet that-will-not-be-named, with API's and libraries "available for Android, iOS, Linux and Windows".

Ok, so it has one use that I won't use.
'never before seen touch technology'
Never before tried s&d.
'never before seen touch technology'
To go along with the never before felt visual technology.
Ya' know...

Felt visual technology?
BREAKING: ALL IPAD 3 GRAPHICS WILL TAKE ON THE APPEARANCE OF CUT OUT PIECES OF FELT!
Alpine PulseTouch much?
"never touched before seen technology" ...
Oh, so like meat that has been sitting out for a while or genitalia with a potential STD.
BREAKING: IPAD 3 TO TEACH? ah, whatever.
Initial thought...
It's one thing to drop trou and sit on the Xerox...
But the same action with the new iPad would be a stimulating experience
I was hoping that Tallest Skil would give us one of his photo mockups...

iScratch and iSniff.

Ah, that's not my bag, man.
Braille on the iPad?
I don't think it'll be sensitive enough for that.

Apple's Market Cap is greater.... PEG and P/E are lower than Google.
Better company/greater stock growth potential
And Apple actually sells products.
Show me a link to AAPL at that price? I can only find them up 60c
