Samsung's new unlock feature "Gesture Lock" makes unlocking mobile devices a breeze. How "Gesture Lock" works is by unlocking the handset and open a user-designated menu by simply scribbling the corresponding letter on the touch screen. Each letter of the alphabet is linked to a specific menu on the phone and users can set the applications according to their preference. For example, if you need to bring the mail client on the screen, you draw the letter M (Mail), and the mail application will open. Up till now, this useful feature is implemented on two new Samsung full touchscreen mid-range phones – Samsung S5600 and Samsung S5230. "Gesture Lock" is set to feature in future Samsung mobile devices.

Wonder if this allows them to circumvent Apple's patent? They're already going after HTC and Android for gesture based unlock.
