1. A portable electronic device comprising:
- a plurality of user output records;
a user interface configured to generate a user detectable output corresponding to a selected one of the plurality of user output records;
a motion detector configured to generate motion information that is indicative of movement of the electronic device; and
a controller configured to randomly select one of the plurality of user output records to be generated by the user interface as the user detectable output responsive to the motion information.

24. A portable electronic device comprising:
-
a memory; a plurality of user output records stored in the memory; a user interface configured to generate a user detectable output corresponding to a selected one of the plurality of user output records; a motion detector configured to generate motion information that is indicative of movement of the electronic device; a disable switch configured to generate a disable signal; and a controller configured to maintain a selection of previously selected one of the plurality of user output records responsive to a first state of the disable signal and to randomly select one of the plurality of user output records to be generated by the user interface as the user detectable output responsive to the motion information and a second state of the disable signal. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26)
