The Samsung Soul

In today's episode of Slightly Over the Top Product Names and the Marketing Folks that Love Them, we bring you Samsung's Soul, a cool new phone with an OLED touch pad screen (that is haptic responsive) and a 'user-changed graphic interface.' The touchpad rests below the main screen, and the key feature is that the touch buttons change according to the application on the screen that you are using.

As a result, texting, calling, and playing music all have different buttons that generate on the touch screen and help to reduce UI confusion. At least that's the goal -- we'll see if it actually works when we get our hands on it.

The Soul's specs (other than its self-aware, immortal existence) are the following: 7.2Mbps Quad-band/HSDPA, 12.9mm thickness, 2.2-inch screen (at 320 x 240), RSS Reader, and an SD slot.
