Launched Mobile Phones Using Immersion's VibeTonz® Platform
Several recently introduced handsets with Immersion’s haptics technology
have generated a great deal of market interest:
The Soul (SGH-U900) is Samsung’s flagship phone for 2008, introduced with parties named for it at Mobile World Congress. The Soul sets a new standard in the bar handset category with elegantly brushed metallic body and state-of-the-art design – in five luscious colors. Not only is the Soul sleek and stylish, it’s fully equipped with 3-megapixel camera, office document viewer and editor, full speed Internet access, Bluetooth 2.0, music player, video editor and recorder, FM radio, and best of all -- three intensity levels of forced feedback. The Soul is destined for availability throughout Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia (China), Southwest Asia, Southeast Asia, and South America.
The Samsung Tocco (SGH-F480) takes its name from the Italian word for touch. Solid, compact, lightweight, with three main buttons and a capacitive (finger friendly) touchscreen, the Tocco packs an autofocus face-and-smile-detection 5 megapixel camera, full-speed Internet access, dual cameras for video calling, FM radio, RSS reader, screen customization via drag and drop widgets such as music player, clock, calendar, games, and picture viewer – and fast, responsive, adjustable haptic feedback for touchscreen presses. Besides an ultramodern design, the LG Incite (CT810) boasts an autofocus 3 mexapixel camera/camcorder, full-speed Internet access, domestic and international 3G capabilities, built-in GPS with turn-by-turn voice and onscreen directions, Wi-Fi radio, Bluetooth 2.0, Office Mobile, music and video players, and 3-inch touchscreen with QWERTY keyboard in landscape mode, 20-key keyboard in portrait view, and, of course, haptic feedback.
