Abstract: A handheld device has a first body part with a first user interface element and a second body part with a second user interface element, and a link mechanism configured to interconnect the first body part and the second body part movably by a user between a first configuration and a second configuration. The first body part and the second body part being stacked in a first order in the first configuration and in a second order opposite to the first order in the second configuration. Each body part has a user interface on its upper surface so that either one can be exposed to a user by changing between the first and second configurations.

Abstract: An apparatus including a first display configured to be able to display user content and to have an active display state in which said user content can be stably displayed via active powering of the display, and a second display configured to be able to display user content and to have a passive display state in which said user content can be stably displayed without active powering of the display. The apparatus is configured such that the first display is positioned to at least partially overlie and cover the second display to provide a covered region of the second display. The apparatus is also configured such that the content on the second display in the covered region can be viewed through the first display.

Abstract: A handheld electronic device has a central part comprising a display and two pivotable elements. The pivotable elements are pivotably linked to the central part such that the pivotable elements are moveable between a compacted configuration and an extended configuration. Both of the pivotable elements are stacked on the central part and adjacent to each other when in the compacted configuration, and extend outward from the central part in the extended configuration. The pivotable elements each have a first surface accessible to a user in the compacted configuration. A first set of keys is disposed on the first surfaces. The pivotable elements each also have a second surface that is accessible to the user in the extended configuration but not in the compacted configuration. A second set of keys is disposed on the second surfaces.
