** 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.
  
  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
  might be the best use of this feature.
+ 
+ *** UX Solution ***
+ We agree with the above solution. Haptic feedback should be reserved for long press & keyboard buttons (on by default).
+ All the other elements should not have haptic feedback.
