Apple could offer tactile feedback

It would seem as though Apple’s upcoming tablet is going to be a game changer in the industry just like the iPod when it was first released – after all, how many devices do you know come with a dynamic surface that offers users tactile feedback when typing so that one can easily identify individual keys?

These surface features will retract themselves whenever the device is not used to type.
