New iPhone to have tactile feedback?

The next generation iPhone could have tactile feedback, according to Palluxo.com. Apple and Immersion, creators of haptic and force-feedback technology, have been secretly meeting and could be close to sealing a deal to include tactile response on future iPhones.

Palluxo.com claims an insider source at Apple says two meetings were held between Apple and Immersion execs. This actually seems plausible because Immersion’s board recently elected Clent Richardson – a former Apple vice president – to become the company’s President and CEO. Richardson has also served as the Chief Marketing Officer for TiVo and Nortel.
