  • receiving a touch on the touch-sensitive screen;

    associating a pressure with the touch;

    comparing the associated pressure with a first non-zero threshold; and

    if the associated pressure is less than the first threshold, then performing a first user-interface action, else performing a second user-interface action distinct from the first user-interface action, wherein performing the second user-interface action is based, at least in part, on a magnitude of a difference between the associated pressure and the first threshold.
