With Mobile World Congress around the corner, Samsung is prepped to launch the latest version of its increasingly impressive, finger-friendly TouchWiz UI. Already spotted on the Ultra Touch S8300 slider, the interface has been fitted with new 3D-effects eye candy, enhanced haptic feedback, and new gesture and voice controls. A new widget dock allows you to more easily manage an increased variety of downloadable widgets while Samsung's new Photo Contact feature provides better integration of your photos and contacts with what appears to be face recognition technology. We'll know more after getting our hands on with the UI at WMC next week -- an event that's shaping up to be the biggest cellphone show in years.

I hope this ends up being an update for Verizon Omnia.
Of course I will have moved on to another phone by the time that actually happens, but we shall see.

I really like the look of that desktop. Looks very promising indeed. I wonder how these companies will handle or phrase the multi touch functions, considering apple is watching that closely.
IMO it will be a standard feature with touch displays and is needed for good web browsing on these web kit browsers.
