Abstract: A smart phone has a dual touch pad interface that includes a graphical user interface. Further, the smart phone includes a first touch pad, which is operably connected to the smart phone, that has a plurality of first touch pad sensors arranged in at least one first touch pad shaped layout such that each of the plurality of first touch pad sensors corresponds to a letter from a first subset of a set of letters in an alphabet. In addition, the smart phone has a second touch pad, which is operably connected to the smart phone, that has a plurality of second touch pad sensors arranged in at least one second touch pad shaped layout such that each of the plurality of second touch pad sensors corresponds to a letter from a second subset of the set of letters in the alphabet.
