ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for automatic power-up and power-down of an electronic device is disclosed. More specifically, an electronic device may be automatically powered-up in response to removal of a user interface object from a portion of a housing of the electronic device. The electronic device may be placed in a power conservation mode when the user interface object is placed in the portion of the housing of the electronic device. The electronic device may include a cover operable to cover a display device of the electronic device, where the electronic device may be automatically powered-up in response to uncovering the display device. The electronic device may be placed in a power conservation mode when the display device is covered by the cover.
