Rumours are bubbling up that Nokia is cashing in on their 2007 partnership with haptic feedback company Immersion, and will be making three new handsets using their so-called VibeTonz. VibeTonz is already built in behind the scenes on many handsets, including the LG Prada and Samsung Armani, and enables cool features like caller-specific vibration, touchscreen confirmations, gaming applications, and music synchronization. Nokia’s slim touchscreen handsets could be landing as early as this fall, so keep your eyes peeled.
