From a first brief glance at this site, i don't think it's a sw-only feature. 
This actor is driven with sth like "...an approx. 175Hz sine wave with 
increasing intensity during the ramp up time and decreasing intensity during 
the ramp down time...", so to me it seems they really plumbed an actuator 
(Piezo?) directly to the screen. You surely can't do this with the common 
built-in vibrator motor (though you can give it a try).

Mere Vibrator feedback on keypress shouldn't be any issue, even should be 
standard (best practice) for OM input devices.
