** Summary changed:

- [sdk] Vibrate should happen on long-press, not normal activation
+ [sdk] Vibration is inconsistent between UI elements

** Description changed:

  Having haptic feedback on the dash is great!  However, having it for
  normal tap activation isn't. Normal activation of dash elements is
- usually instant, so no additional feedback is required.  Long-press,
- however, is different and the user often doesn't know if it's been
+ usually instant, so no additional feedback is required.
+ 
+ Currently these elements have instant haptic feedback:
+ - apps in the Dash
+ - keyboard buttons (by default)
+ - System Settings categories
+ - page stack items
+ - pushbuttons (e.g. in the power dialog)
+ - checkboxes (e.g. in Language & Text settings)
+ - switches
+ - Browser toolbar buttons, except for Add Bookmark
+ 
+ These do not:
+ - apps in the Launcher
+ - unlock screen and phone dialpad buttons
+ - toolbar buttons everywhere except Browser
+ - links in Web pages
+ - pushbuttons or checkboxes in Web pages
+ - text fields anywhere
+ 
+ One way to resolve this inconsistency would be to reserve haptic
+ feedback for long-press. The user often doesn't know if it's been
  triggered or not.  Having vibration happen when long-press is recognized
- would be the best use of this feature.
+ might be the best use of this feature.

  Having haptic feedback on the dash is great!  However, having it for
  normal tap activation isn't. Normal activation of dash elements is
  usually instant, so no additional feedback is required.

  Currently these elements have instant haptic feedback:

  - page stack items
  - pushbuttons (e.g. in the power dialog)
