Claim:
An electronic device, comprising: a controller circuit that is: configured to display selectable indicia on a touch sensitive display device, wherein the selectable indicia are arranged in a plurality of adjacent rows, each row including a plurality of displayed selectable indicia with associated selection zones; configured to define a default size and location of a plurality of selection zones on the display device that are each associated with different ones of the displayed selectable indicia, configured to respond to a touch signal from the display device that identifies a first touch location of a user object by increasing the size of a first one of the selection zones that includes the first touch location, configured to respond to the touch signal identifying that the user object has ceased touching the display device at a second touch location, which is within the enlarged first selection zone but outside the default sized first selection zone, by outputting a first one of the selectable indicia that is associated with the first selection zone, wherein selection of the first selection zone in a row causes other selection zones in the same row to slide along the row away from the enlarged first selection zone so that the enlarged first selection zone does not overlap the selection zones of the adjacent selectable indicia.
