tipping point for haptic?

cellodude on the IV MB:

>>Short IMMR podcast from CES 2009 - "tipping point" approaching
Short & crappy podcast IMO.

The main point I take from it is that IMMR feels that its haptic technology is very near the touchscreen "tipping point," the point at which consumers expect their touchscreens to have haptics rather than not. Mainly due to the explosion of haptic phones, IMMR predicts that soon consumers will think a touchscreen is malfunctioning somehow if there are no haptics.

I agree, and many of us here knew that the day would eventually come that haptics would become mandatory. Not there yet, but when? It will happen though, simply because given a choice, most people prefer haptics.
