Haptic feedback - gets physical


 Tactus Technology

 Guess it was about time for something like this to "surface" :) What's it about? Well let me tell ya one or few things 'bout it. It's a new way to interact with your smartphone, tablet or any smart appliances you may plan to upgrade to.

 If you ever wrote an e-mail using your tablet's touchscreen and then used your qwerty feature phone to type a text message, you might have wondered how it would be to use that physical keyboard instead of the virtual one displayed on-screen.

 Today all that's about to change thanks to the Tactus Technology and its "appearing and disappearing" haptic user interface that translates into a "physical keyboard that rises from a flat touchscreen". Some of you may wonder: "What kind of sorcery is this?" :) It's as real as it gets, so now sit back and relax cause it's "welcome to the future" time.

Your multiple lifestyles, you decide!

The Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101

 The tablet wars gets hotter by the day. Many companies have deployed lots of foot soldiers on the battlefield but it's seems that Asus has the advantage of a sharpshooter, aiming right at their hearts - the price tag. The Eee Pad Transformer runs on Android 3.0 Honeycomb and it's based on nVidia Tegra 250 SOC (system on a chip) platform.

 Apart from being the most affordable Honeycomb tablet on the market, it can be hooked up to a keyboard dock thus transforming into a netbook form factor with full Qwerty keyboard and extended battery life up to 16 hours. Here are the full specs: Eee Pad Transformer

 This video: I can transform ya  - would make a fine product commercial, don't you think?
