20100230264	Keypad - An apparatus including: a substrate; a keypad including a plurality of distinct rigid elongate keys wherein each elongate key includes: a first end portion supported by the substrate and a second end portion separated by a dimension of the elongate key from the first end portion, and suspended from the substrate in free space by the elongate key; and a plurality of switches, wherein each switch detects travelling towards the substrate of the second end portion of a respective one of the plurality of elongate keys in response to user actuation of the second end portion.	09-16-2010
20100232097	Extendible apparatus - An apparatus including:	09-16-2010
20100232860	Keys for an apparatus - An apparatus including: a plurality of keys each having an in-use configuration and a stowed configuration, wherein a key when in the in-use configuration is configured to travel between a first relatively raised position and a second relatively lowered position under a user applied force and is configured to return to the first relatively raised position after removal of the user applied force and wherein a key when in the stowed configuration is unable to travel to the first relatively raised position.	09-16-2010
20100328222	Touch input for a user - An apparatus including: a housing portion having a length, a width and a depth; and a display portion, including a touch sensitive display extending length-wise and width-wise, wherein the display portion is configured to move between a first position in which the display portion has been elevated relative to the housing by translational depth-wise movement and a second position in which the display portion has been lowered from the first position towards the housing by translational depth-wise movement and wherein the touch sensitive display is configured to detect any one of a plurality of locations at which a user touches the touch sensitive display.	12-30-2010
20100328900	Apparatus - An apparatus including: an intermediate chassis configured to move in at least a first direction and configured to define a reaction surface; a movable chassis configured to move in at least a second direction orthogonal to the first direction and configured to define a follower wherein the reaction surface and follower interact to convert movement of the intermediate chassis and reaction surface in the first direction to movement of the follower and movable chassis in the second direction. Also, an apparatus including a first movable housing portion having side faces including one or more interface components; and a second housing portion; wherein the first movable housing portion is movable relative to the second housing portion between a compact configuration in which the one or more interface components are obscured by the second housing portion and an expanded configuration in which the one or more interface components are exposed.	12-30-2010
