I’ve been checking out the LG KF600 mobile phone over the last few weeks. It is a slide phone which is not uncommon with phones today, but what sets it apart from other phones is the dual screen display.

The main screen (320 x 240) is situated at the top, whilst at the bottom is a smaller screen (240 x 176), which LG have called the InteractPad, which is a context sensitive touch screen display.

The controls in this bottom screen change depending on the feature you’re using. So for example, if you’re using the camera then the InteractPad displays icons to control the camera. If you’re using the MP3 player then the InteractPad displays the MP3 player controls. This is an interesting concept. By only displaying controls specific to the function in hand it stops the phone from being cluttered with too many controls.
