Vibrator

[Shawn Rutledge]

The idea from the Jackito sounded good to me - use the screen surface
as the audio transducer, that way if you play a low-frequency sound
you can feel it with your fingers.  And it's much lower-power than
using the vibrator.  But I'm not sure how you attach a piezo to the
screen; maybe the idea is to just vibrate the touchscreen film so as
to have lower mass.
