Abstract
A method and system for changing a display format for information rendered on a handheld device based at least in part on a velocity of the handheld device recognizes that when the velocity of the handheld device that is optimally held by a stationary user in both hands in a horizontal orientation exceeds a predetermined threshold, it is generally indicative that the handheld device is being held by a mobile user in one hand in a vertical orientation. Accordingly, upon determining that the velocity of the handheld device exceeds the predetermined threshold, information rendered on the handheld device is reoriented from a landscape orientation to a portrait orientation so that the information is oriented correctly from the perspective of the mobile user. Thereafter, upon determining that the velocity of the handheld device is below the predetermined velocity threshold, the information rendered on the handheld device is reoriented from the portrait orientation to the landscape orientation so that the information is oriented correctly from the perspective of a stationary user.
