Abstract: The present invention provides an ability to generate a different layout on the screen of a calendering program. The program generates customized time slots according to the start and end points of the appointments of the day. In addition to time slots covering appointments, empty time slots will be generated but will not appear on the screen if they overlap with an existing appointment. The elimination of unnecessary images for empty time slots which are in between appointments allows for a more efficient use of space on the display screen. In compressed view mode, empty one-hour time slots will be generated to the extent necessary to fill up the screen. If in non-compressed view mode, empty time slots of one-hour duration will be added to the layout from the beginning to the end of the day.

In the case of a handheld computer including a telephone, for example, a user may wish to quickly and easily dial certain telephone numbers through use of a “speed dialing” system. An exemplary speed dialing system herein described includes a plurality of speed dial pages which can be selected by the user for display on a touch sensitive screen. Each speed dial page has an arrangement of speed dial buttons, and each speed dial button can be assigned a label, that is displayed on or adjacent the button, and a telephone number that is dialed when the button is pressed using the touch sensitive screen.
