Claim:
1. An electronic device comprising: at least one processor; a memory coupled to the at least one processor; a touch screen display coupled to the at least one processor, the touch screen display comprising a pressure-sensitive interface that is capable of detecting a plurality of pressures when a user touches a displayed item on the touch screen display and interpreting each of the plurality of pressures as a different action with respect to the displayed item; a pressure map of the touch screen display that defines a plurality of pressure thresholds for each of a plurality of sections of the touch screen display, wherein a first pressure threshold for a first of the plurality of sections corresponds to a first action when the user touches the displayed item in the first section with a first pressure, and a second pressure threshold for the first section corresponds to a second action when the user touches the displayed item in the first section with a second pressure; and a pressure-sensitive interface mechanism residing in the memory and executed by the at least one processor, the pressure-sensitive interface mechanism monitoring user interaction with the touch screen display, and updating at least one of the plurality of pressure thresholds in the pressure map based on the user interaction with the touch screen display.
