ABSTRACT:
An electronic device having a first piece, a second piece moveable with respect to the first piece, and a position sensor operable to sense the position of the second piece relative to the first piece. The electronic device is operated in a first mode or a second mode dependent upon the position of the second piece relative to the first piece. Optionally, a proximity sensor is provided to detect the presence of a body in close proximity to the device when the second piece is in an open position relative to the first piece.
