Apple has a patent related to modular touch-feedback "panels" that rest on
touch-sensitive screens... it is on ArsTechnica.

> Lovin' a lot of things about the iPhone. But something I'm sure we'll
> miss is the tactile feel of buttons under our fingers. Being able to
> feel the buttons means we don't need to pay *quite* as much attention
> visually when, say, dialing a number. That will be a killer patent: a
> touch screen whose topography can change slightly to mimic features
> on the display. [Waiting hopefully for someone to point out this
> already exists in a lab somewhere...]
