Accessing the vibration function in Windows 8 WinRT?

Is there an WinRT API in Windows 8 or Windows Phone 8 to use the vibration function?

Try this: (Only works on Windows Phone!)

var vibrationTime = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(100);
Windows.Phone.Devices.Notification.VibrationDevice.GetDefault().Vibrate(vibrationTime);

You can use the VibrateController or VibrationDevice class to achieve vibration effect in your Windows Phone apps.

The leaked docs seem to mention the Microsoft.Devices.VibrateController class being available both in WP7 and WP8. I don't think there is something like that in WinRT though. I think tablets usually don't have a vibrator? Seems to be more like a feature of a phone that you might keep silenced in your pocket.
