LiMo also said that Immersion has joined the organization, which develops haptic technologies that provide a jolt to a person’s fingertip to confirm that a person did indeed touch the screen. In addition, LiMo said that NEC and Panasonic Mobile Communications has developed nine phones for NTT DoCoMo (NYSE: DCM).

In all, there are now 42 compliant LiMo-based handsets and a dozen carrier members.
