  • a housing;

    a communicator mounted in said housing continuously receiving images from an internet server;

    a display mounted in said housing rendering the received images; and

    a sensor mounted in said housing and connected to said communicator, configured to detect sizes of objects in an adjacent detection zone, the sensor comprising an analyzer recognizing the other handheld electronic device when said sensor detects that an object in the adjacent detection zone is as long as an edge of said housing, wherein the server receives outputs from said analyzer and partitions each of the images into two half-images, and continuously transmits one of each half-image to the handheld electronic device and the other of each half-image to the other handheld device, such that each full image spans the two device displays.
