LG Electronics, a worldwide technology and design provider in mobile communications, announces the launch of its LG KF600 a new mobile phone that is as feature-rich and easy to use as it is stylish, thanks to its unique InteractPad handset.


The InteractPad replaces physical navigation keys with context-specific virtual keys that change to fit the task at hand. This new interface comes in response to the need for a simple way to navigate through the numerous features on today’s mobile phones.



The LG KF600’s InteractPad eliminates distractions with its luminous menu keys which displays the exact buttons a user needs to complete the task at hand. This is far more flexible than standard hardware features and eliminates the need to memorise exactly which key performs which function. These virtual keys are also larger and better spaced than physical keys, improving accuracy.



The InteractPad is an ideal interface for controlling multimedia features like the LG KF600’s digital audio player, camera and video camera. As its controls are not tied to physical buttons, each of these functions has a custom interface that makes it incredibly intuitive.



To make it even easier to navigate, the InteractPad is equipped with
multi-sensorial feedback that provides users with audio, visual and tactile cues. When a virtual button is pressed it becomes larger and the phone vibrates slightly, whilst making a “clicking” sound. This feedback is not only designed to make these virtual buttons seem more like real ones, it also makes the phone more comfortable to use and improves accuracy.



The LG KF600 includes eight dynamic graphic interface themes that are all stylish and fun, each giving the phone a different character that can act as an extension of its owner’s personality. These themes, many of which were inspired by the work of famed artist Keith Haring, affect all aspects of the LG KF600’s interface including the InteractPad™. When users choose a theme, all the
layouts of each application will be reflected in the menu and icons as well as wallpaper under the integrated theme.



The LG KF600 is far more advanced than other slider phones and is unlike any of its competitors because of its unique interface and feed-forward tactile navigation made possible by the InteractPad.
