Haptic Feedback for your Touch Diamond/Pro

Posted by Nishanth Samala on August 21st, 2008

Thanks to jbrb who posted a list of functionality apps/hacks on XDA, you can now add haptic feedback for the phone pad of your Touch Diamond or Pro, though it would be mainly aimed at the keyboard-less Diamond.

Haptic feedback is physical feedback to a user to allow them to know when they’ve pressed something on a touch screen device. In this case, it is a small vibration that lets you know when you’ve pressed key. The longer that you press down on the button, the longer the vibration. The feedback is great even if you quickly peck at numbers on the phone pad.

Unfortunately, at this time, it only runs in the phone dialer pad. It would have been better if this feature was extended to the soft-keyboard input panels that would make typing in Opera and any other app just as easy as in the phone app. Hopefully, this will be in an update soon.

You can download the app here. Just save it to your phone and run the cab file from the explorer.
