SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan 10, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- Synaptics(R) Incorporated (Nasdaq: SYNA), a leading developer of interface solutions for mobile computing, communications, and entertainment devices, today announced the launch of a MobileTouch(TM) interface solution for Samsung's SPH-V6800 mobile phone.

The Samsung SPH-V6800 is a slider phone featuring access to the cellular network as well as a WiFi 802.11b network.
