Synaptics Incorporated (Nasdaq: SYNA), a leading developer of human interface solutions for mobile computing, communications, and entertainment devices, will demonstrate new capabilities on the Fuse™ mobile phone concept at the 2010 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain along with Fuse partners-Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI), Immersion, TheAlloy, and TAT - The Astonishing Tribe.

First seen at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Fuse demonstrated multiple interface technologies-including multi-touch capacitive sensing, haptic feedback, 3-D graphics, and force sensing. Fuse is a perfect showcase for the Mobile World Congress theme, "Vision in Action", as the partners will show the next development of user interface experiences that leverage these innovative input and feedback technologies housed in a compelling industrial design.

The Fuse concept was originally created to solve two key human interface challenges for current-generation handsets-single-handed usage and the need to look at the screen. At Mobile World Congress, Fuse partners will showcase new interactions such as dialing and navigation from the back of the device, a gaming application using the side grip and scrolling sensors, and optimized haptic feedback technology, using a next-generation solution from Immersion.

Fuse will be demonstrated during Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, February 15-18, 2010, at the following locations:

* Synaptics: Hall 3, hospitality space 3.1HS08 (by appointment only).
* TI: Hall 8, booth 8A84.
* TAT: Hall 2, booth 2F18, and Hall 4, hospitality space 4.7HS20.
* Immersion: App Planet, stand 7B62.
