Abstract

An electronic device (100) includes three substantially planar panels. The first panel (130) has a first side edge (145) and a second side edge (155), and includes a display (120). The second panel (140) includes a first interface (115) and is hingedly coupled to the first side edge (145) of the first panel (130). The third panel (150) includes a second interface (125) and is hingedly coupled to the second side edge (155) of the first panel (130). The device (100) is configured in at least two positions. In a first position the first interface (115) and the second interface (125) are obscured and in a second position the first interface (115) and the second interface (125) are exposed. Such a device can be a gamer with a first gaming interface (210) and a second gaming interface (220), or it can be an electronic device with PDA technology through a first keyboard (160)and a second keyboard (180). Alternatively, the device (100) can be a communicator or a music player.
