I could also see some applications for a Blackberry style wheel, for example volume control and scrolling. I don't think using a futuristic sensor would be a good idea because we already have an analog device without feedback which is the touchscreen.
Futuristic for some countries :-) My Japanese mobile has a touch strip, and I bought it in Q2 2004. It made scrolling through texts and sites very easy and the friction provided by the slightly rubbery strip made for some great feedback (touching a touch screen is different than sliding on a touch strip, despite the misleading names).
