Speculation is mounting ahead of Apple's iPad announcement later on Wednesday that it will include some sort of haptic technology - thinking which has been driven by the including of the words "And touch" in its invitation.
The suspicion is that the company which has provided the technology is Senseg, a Finnish startup whose executives have in the past few days become increasingly reticent about discussing any contact that they might or might not have with Apple.
That's from today's story in the Guardian which is, apparently, responsible for the last minute rumors that the new iPad will include haptic technology. At the moment, I'm seeing 2488 articles on Google News related to the iPad 3, when I searched for "haptic."
This, however, is a disclaimer at the bottom of that Guardian story:
Charles Arthur's trip to Finland was paid for by Finnfacts, an independent media service organisation that provides contacts between international media and Finnish business.
If I'm reading this right, it says that a single junket, undertaken by a reporter for the paper so concerned about journalistic accountability as to have almost toppled Rupert Murdoch's UK publishing empire, has generated several thousand stories about a tech company that may or may not have any connection to Apple. Bravo!
