    Abstract: An apparatus including a housing; electronics in the housing; and a user input configured to allow a user to input information into the apparatus. The user input includes a touch panel on the housing. The user input is connected to the electronics and is configured to distinguish between first and second different levels of touch pressure by a user. The user input is configured to display a keyboard keys graphic. The apparatus is configured such that the first level of touch pressure at a first location of the touch panel is determined to correspond to selecting one of the keys of the graphic by the user as first information. The second level of touch pressure at the first location is determined to correspond to second information which does not correspond to selecting one of the keys of the graphic by the user.
