uh...this seems like a dumb idea that would take quite a bit of power to make a "virtual ball" as the feedback. this might work for blind people if there were no visual inputs to the smartphone, but what about SMS? it would be better to invent something like the project I want to start which is a braille feedback on the phone's surface for reading SMS messages.

Why... because today there isn't jangling there is vibration absolutely no point
-
Stroker language? Doesn't every guy already know this language well without the use of extra jingling electronic balls? lol
-
Is this only for faggots? I can't see why it wouldn't be.
-
Good for blind people perhaps.. For normal uses the novelty would wear off fast.
