Opera Labs introduced Fingertouch, "a technology designed to make interacting with the Web easier and simpler on these touch-based devices. Fingertouch provides visual feedback when you hit a Web link, and assists you when you come across multiple links or other selectable elements in close proximity to one another."

A helpful compilation of fairly high-quality YouTube videos from the Pre announcement. There are some interesting new ideas in the interface of webOS (the Pre's operating system).

The Linja Zax concept is a method for zooming and moving within a 3-dimensional space along the Z-axle on touch screen devices. It is characterized by zooming/moving that is controlled by rotating a stylus or finger around zooming/moving target point on the screen. The zoom/move is activated by panning the view with the stylus/finger in a circular motion. Rotating clockwise indicates zooming in, rotating counter clockwise indicates zooming out.

For a more detailed look into Linja Zax, please visit the Linja Zax website.

A video demo of how Linja Zax works can be found on LinjaDesign's Youtube Page.

We at Linja Design have released an innovative, faster-to-use S60 calculator.

From the website: "The Linja Series 60 calculator was designed and developed by those at Linja Design alongside their technology partners, BJIT Group.

With a clean and easy to use interface, the Linja S60 calculator can prove to be a better solution when calculating simple equations on your mobile phone. Instead of clicking multiple times to get to a basic math function such as with the default Nokia S60 calculator, the addition, divide, multiply and subtract functions are dedicated onto the up, down, left and right areas of the rocker key. Thus, making calculations quicker and easier to do."
