Taptu is the new direct-to-consumer mobile search engine that debuted late 2007 to praise and plaudits from leading industry commentators. Taptu believes that mobile search will only cross to the mainstream when search is made relevant to the needs of today’s mobile users. The key to making this transition is to make mobile search ‘Social’. Taptu has demonstrated how social search can work today by applying ‘social metrics’ to relevancy scoring, for example using number of plays to rank music content and enabling frictionless sharing of results. This approach has led to a number of interface design innovations. In the near future, social search will utilise human editing of search results and social graph information to make mobile search even more relevant and useful. Taptu beta is available by visiting http://taptu.com on any internet-enabled mobile phones with a standard mobile browser (no download required) and is accessible worldwide in English, Spanish, French, German and Italian.

As the global leader in haptic technologies, Immersion provides designers and manufacturers with tools and systems for using the sense of touch to add realism and engagement to digital interfaces. Every category of machine interaction can benefit from judicious design around the tactile dimension; but nowhere is this sensory channel more relevant than in mobile handheld devices, where screen resolution, audio fidelity, and constrained mechanical controls mean that touch looms especially large in shaping the overall quality of the user experience. Three of the world’s top five handset manufacturers have licensed Immersion’s VibeTonz platform and are using it to add tactile feedback to mobile user interfaces, multimedia, and applications. The platform consists of: 1) VibeTonz Mobile Player, a vibrotactile control system for embedding in handsets; 2) VibeTonz API, a set of cross-platform programming language bindings; and 3) VibeTonz Studio, a PC-based tool for authoring touch effects. Founded in 1993, Immersion also sells haptic technologies into the automotive, gaming, medical, and imaging markets. Headquartered in Silicon Valley, the company has offices in Maryland, Seoul, London, and Helsinki.
