Abstract
A dual-screen mobile device has a first display screen and a second display screen. Only the second display screen is touch-sensitive. The first display screen may be used for displaying content while the second (touch-sensitive) display screen may be used for displaying functional controls (such as back and forward arrows, scroll bar, zoom control, etc.). Displaying the functional control on the second display screen instead of on the same screen as the application content improves the overall ergonomics of the mobile device. The application content appears less constrained and cluttered when the functional controls are displayed on a separate screen.
