ABSTRACT:
A hand-held computer having symmetrically placed buttons on one side so that left or right handed operation by the grasping hand is easily achieved. The hand-held computer includes a configuration method so that the functions of buttons and the orientation of images on the display screen can be adjusted for left or right handed use of the computer. Stylus input is modified by button presses thereby allowing more flexibility in inputing information to the computer. The computer includes rounded buttons as an aid to holding and operating the computer so as to improve operator comfort.
