Abstract

A portable electronic device (10) and a method of controlling a portable electronic device (10) are described. The electronic device (10) comprises position sensors to enable it to determine its arrangement in space. The device (10) can be operated in different modes of operation, such as a mobile telephone or a PDA, for example. By changing the spatial arrangement of the device (10), a switch is made between different modes of operation, with, for example, the upright position activating the mobile telephone mode and the horizontal position the PDA mode. The switch between different modes of operation by means of a change in position/orientation allows the user to operate the device (10) intuitively.
