TouchWiz

TouchWiz is a touch interface developed by Samsung Electronics with partners, featuring a full touch user interface. It is sometimes incorrectly identified as an operating system. TouchWiz is used internally by Samsung for sophisticated feature phones, and is not available for licensing by external parties.

The latest version of TouchWiz, 4.0, has been released on the Galaxy S II. It boasts a more refined user interface as compared to the previous version, 3.0, on the Galaxy S. Some of the features added[1] include panning and tilt, which makes use of the accelerometer and gyroscope in the phone to detect motion.

TouchWiz is used by Samsung's own proprietary operating system, bada, as well as phones based on the Android operating system.
