First Claim
1. An electronic device comprising:
- a. a first substantially planar panel including a first interface; and
b. a second substantially planar panel including a second interface, coupled to the first substantially planar panel such that the first substantially planar panel rotates relative to the second substantially planar panel, wherein in a first position the second interface is obscured by the first panel and in a second position the first panel partitions the second interface into a plurality of exposed sections.

Abstract
An electronic device comprises a first substantially planar panel and a second substantially planar panel. The first panel includes a first interface. The second panel includes a second interface and is coupled to the first panel, so that the first panel can rotate relative to the second panel. The device further can be configured in one of two positions. In the first position, the second interface is obscured by the first panel. In the second position, the first panel partitions the second interface into a plurality of exposed sections. The device can be a wireless telecommunications device with a telephone interface as the first interface, a keyboard as the second interface, and a digital camera lens. The device provides simultaneous accessibility of multiple elements based on its configuration.
