I think tactile feedback can be replaced by other methods. The biggest being aural feedback. A broad range of carefully planned Sound Fx would help you navigate your way through the interface naturally.
A lot of people type without looking at the keyboard for a few seconds at a time so you would be getting a visual top-up every time you look down at the keys for a split second, group that with smart software that focuses and predicts where your finger is aiming for and Sound FX that guide you without realizing.
I have been practising with my normal Apple keyboard and every key appears to my ears as giving off a different sound so I really believe this is a possibility. It would just take some very good researchers and engineers to pull it off
No you're not, you're a friggin genius!! Keep it the work, I'm looking forward to more of this stuff. Let's make the Optimus keyboard look like primitive technology

The touch-screen 'keyboard' mock-up looks cool so far!
Hahahahaha
(Dont worry the keys are on the way. They are just taking a ruddy long time and I thought i better release something whilst the topic was still on the front page of the forums)
There will be more added to the video. It's only about 10% complete.
I plan on including:
Interactive shots of the Keyboard interface
Longer Dock Scroll
Aperture/iPhoto Viewing and Editing Interfaces
Final Cut Studio Interface
iLife Interface
and that's about it...
PS:For the record. I'm not Sad. It's a pretty cool way to try and develop my Photoshop skills and learn Motion proppa-like.
I can remeber you posting this about 6 months ago at least. I think it's a great idea for artists and designers. Programmers and word processors may not feel so inspired, but that sucks for them!
I forget where I read about it, but some company has screens out with tactile feedback that presses back at you when you touch it.
That said, I doubt we will even get something similar to the Optimus let alone this multi-touch screen. We sure do need a new keyboard though! Personally, I haven't liked any of the Apple keyboards since the Extended Keyboard II.

PS: I'm still working on the Mockups
I have been working on a little interface demo video too.

a lot of people speculate that apple bought this company and that's why they stopped supplying products a while back.
It's not speculation, it's fact!
