The Samsung Soul tries, and largely succeeds at making a touchscreen 5 way navpad. Like the Maximus Optimus keyboard, the controller is backlit by an OLED screen (this one is a two color deal) that changes icons depending on the context:
The Samsung Soul tries, and largely succeeds at making a touchscreen 5 way navpad. Like the Maximus Optimus keyboard, the controller is backlit by an OLED screen (this one is a two color deal) that changes icons depending on the context: In the media player, you get FF/RW and play/pause controls; in the calculator, you get plus, minus, subtract and divide buttons. The soul patch (my name) even vibrates when you click it, thanks to the same Immersion tech found in Playstation and Wii rumble controllers. Congrats to Samsung in making a touch UI that overcomes some of the shortcomings of touchscreen controls in a nice looking package.

I think it's hilarious that with ever emerging new and improved gadgets that are smaller, faster, higher res, last longer, hold more data, have more features, bigger screens, steady-cam, auto focus, wi-fi, Bluetooth, laser bla, bla, bla...we all still wind up watching stuff like this.
@jespejo: I had the guy holding it and he was going crazy. Sorry dudes, I'm walking around this show sick myself.
