A phone with a Joystick for navigation?

QuoteThe Samsung SCH-V960, or to give it its more user friendly title - the ?Optical Joystick' Phone is promising to revolutionize the way users interact with the menu and user interface of mobile handsets.

Users utilize the optical joystick key by placing their finger and moving a cursor to navigate through the menu, similar to a cursor of a mouse on a PC with optical sensors will read and react to users' finger movement.

Sounds like they just took an optical mouse sensor and made it face up... Turn your mouse over and stick your thumb over it..


Works.... Well maybe not that well...
