Broadcom to supply single-chip solution for Samsung Edge phones

two interesting posts by cellodude on the IV MB:

>>Broadcom to supply single-chip solution for Samsung Edge phones (with built-in haptics naturally)

First time I've seen an integrated haptics controller on a chip from a major manufacturer. I wonder if IMMR gets any $$$ from Broadcom, or only from the final phone manufacturer?

Top phrases:

"Key features include touch-based graphical user interfaces with tactile feedback..."

"... the EDGE segment of the mobile phone market is projected to grow from 308 million units in 2008 to over 483 million units in 2012, making EDGE the largest volume sector."

>>IMMR first: LG Multi-Touch haptic phone to be introduced this week

LG Arena KM900 will sport LG multi-touch for the first time and new uses for haptics (haptics & multi-touch never seen before in the same phone)
