On the demonstration, Jeff flips some photos across the screen, zooms in, throws them away, and calls up new ones. You can watch the video to see how the interface works.

Samsung’s newest cell phone, the SCH-W559, is the company’s first handset to use Immersion’s VibeTonz technology on a touchscreen. The phone also boasts a 1.3MP camera, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, and audio/video playback. Read the description below to get more info on how the vibrating touchscreen works.
The unit’s QVGA touchscreen is meant to be a hands-on experience, and whether you use a stylus or the tips of your finger, the phone will provide a vibrating cue, which can be adjusted and customized within the phone’s software, whenever you touch a virtual button. Immersion claims that its technology allows the on-screen buttons to feel more like “mechanical keys” rather than just a sheet of plastic.
