Abstract: A portable electronic device includes a housing, a processor supported by the housing, a memory coupled to the processor, and a communications transceiver coupled to the processor. The transceiver is configured to support voice conference calling between more than two parties. A program stored in the memory and running on the processor is configured to provide a user interface on the display which is configured to display indicators representative of the parties on the conference call. The user interface includes the hold area configured to display indicators representative of the parties on hold and an active area configured to display indicators representative of the parties active on the conference call.

Abstract: A hand-held computing device comprising a display and a processor is provided. The processor is configured to provide a graphical user interface on the display, the graphical user interface being switchable between a portrait mode and a landscape mode. An application running on the processor can generate a workspace to be displayed within the graphical user interface. In some embodiments, the workspace in the landscape mode is rotated 90° relative to the workspace in the portrait mode. The graphical user interface can also comprise a tool bar generated by an operating system running on the processor. In these embodiments, the tool bar location is switchable between left and right placement options. The landscape mode can also include left-hand-adjusted and right-hand adjusted configurations.
