Check it — Gigabyte has just revealed details about a swank new user interface for its GSmart mobiles, and it has been coined Smart Touch. Sadly, multi-touch gestures aren’t supported, but it does handle dragging / dropping and gives users oodles of customization options. Comically enough, the note on the new UI actually admits that it “works like [the interface on the] iPhone,” but it claims to be superior due to its tight-knit integration and more “useful and interesting features.” Sure, alrighty. We’ll let you be the judge on this one — jump on past the break for an excruciatingly long demonstration vid.

Let’s face it: there’s a myriad ways to open one’s garage door, but you won’t find us kvetching over a new, relatively affordable alternative to the tried and true numeric keypad. Master Lock’s smartTouch GDO is a universal add-on device that ditches the numbers and relies instead on the swiping of your digit to open the connected door. Purportedly, you can register up to 20 users on a single device, ensuring that your entire fraternity will have the ability to sneak in through the garage door if they misplace the house key. Sadly, it’s not likely to arrive before the Spring semester starts, but you can snap one up shortly after Rush Week for $129.95.
