Abstract:
1. A handheld electronic device comprising: a processor apparatus comprising a processor and a memory; an input apparatus cooperable with the processor apparatus; an output apparatus cooperable with the processor apparatus, the output apparatus including a display; and a housing; the processor apparatus being adapted to receive input from the input apparatus and to provide output to the display to present a plurality of screen objects, wherein a first screen object of the plurality of screen objects is positioned towards a corner of the display formed by two edges of the display; the input apparatus including a multi-axis input device; and the memory having stored therein a routine that is executable on the processor, wherein the routine is responsive to inputs from the multi-axis input device to move a focus of the routine toward the corner, and wherein the routine creates a capture effect for the corner of the display which, in response to an input from the multi-axis input device which moves the focus towards and potentially beyond a quadrant that includes the corner, resists movement of the focus by the user beyond either of the two edges defining the corner and moves the focus to the first screen object.
