Samsung TouchWiz - Mobile UI Advances 2009

[1]First introduced to the international market via handsets including the SGH-F480 and Samsung Omnia, Samsung's TouchWiz customizable user interface boasts specially designed widgets enabling users to customize and personalize their mobile experience, promising one-touch access to popular applications and features. TouchWiz organizes widgets within a tray located on the left side of the phone's homescreen; users drag and drop widgets onto the homescreen to instantly access a desired function or service, with preinstalled icons spotlighting the mobile web, music, messaging services, games, search, navigation services and account updates. Samsung adds that each phone supporting TouchWiz may include operator-specific widgets for direct access to the carrier's custom services. Just prior to the recent Mobile World Congress 2009 event, Samsung also introduced a host of new TouchWiz features in tandem with its fledgling Ultra Touch S8300 device, including 3D effects, enhanced haptics feedback and improved gesture and voice controls.
