1. A method of selecting and moving at least one graphical object among graphical objects shown in multiple display regions, the method comprising:
- detecting, via a single touch sensitive display unit, a touch input at a first location on a first display region of the touch sensitive display unit resulting in selection of a graphical object from the first display region of the touch sensitive display unit;
detecting, via the touch sensitive display unit, a drag input from said first location resulting in movement of the selected graphical object, wherein detecting the drag input is based on a drag distance from said first location to a second location on the first display region;
changing displayed locations of said graphical object on the first display region based on the drag distance;
changing displayed locations of said graphical object on the second display region based on the drag distance;
wherein the second display region is graphically adjacent the first display region on the touch sensitive display unit, andproviding a visual indicator along an edge of the first display region or along an edge of the second display region on the touch sensitive display unit to indicate that the first display region and the second display region are attached to each other in a graphically continuous manner.

5. An apparatus that supports selecting and moving at least one graphical object among graphical objects shown in multiple display regions, the apparatus comprising:
-
a transceiver configured for transmitting and receiving signals via a wireless communications network; a memory configured for storing data related to the signals and information related to graphical objects; a single touch sensitive display unit comprising a first display region and a second display region; and a processor configured for cooperating with the memory and the touch sensitive display unit in order to; detect, via the touch sensitive display unit, a touch input at a first location on the first display region of the touch sensitive display unit resulting in selection of a graphical object from the first display region of the touch sensitive display unit, detect, via the touch sensitive display unit, a drag input from said first location resulting in movement of the selected graphical object, wherein detecting the drag input is based on a drag distance from said first location to a second location on the first display region; change displayed locations of said graphical object on the first display region based on the drag distance; change displayed locations of said graphical object on the second display region based on the drag distance; wherein the second display region is graphically adjacent the first display region on the touch sensitive display unit, and provide a visual indicator along an edge of the first display region or along an edge of the second display region on the touch sensitive display unit to indicate that the first display region and the second display region are attached to each other in a graphically continuous manner. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)

9. An apparatus comprising:
-
a transceiver configured to transmit and receive signals via a wireless communications network; a memory configured to store data related to one or more icons; a single touch sensitive screen configured to display at least one left side display area and at least one right side display area to achieve a side-by-side image layout; and a processor configured to cooperate with the memory and the touch sensitive screen in order to display graphical outputs on the left and right side display areas by; detecting, via the touch sensitive screen, a touch drag input resulting in movement of at least one touch selected icon, wherein detecting the touch drag input is based on a drag distance with respect to a threshold length; providing updated graphical outputs on the left side display area of the touch sensitive screen to display the movement of the touch selected icon based on the drag distance; and providing updated graphical outputs on the right side display area of the touch sensitive screen to display the movement of the touch selected icon based on the drag distance, wherein the right side display area is graphically adjoined with the left side display area on the side-by-side image layout on the touch sensitive screen, and providing a visual indicator along an edge of the left side display area, along an edge of the right side display area, or along edges of both the left and right side display areas to indicate that the left side display area and the right side display area are graphically adjoined on the side-by-side image layout. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)

13. An apparatus comprising:
-
a display unit configured to provide outputs to a user and to receive touch contacts from the user, said display unit configured to display a first screen portion and a second screen portion, said first screen portion having a first display area and a second display area, wherein a first set of graphical icons are displayed on the first screen portion and a second set of graphical icons are displayed on the second screen portion; and a controller configured to cooperate with the display unit in order to cause, detecting of an initial finger touch contact from the user applied at a particular spot on the first display area of the first screen portion resulting in selection of at least one graphical icon among the first set of graphical icons; detecting of a continued finger touch contact from the user applied from the particular spot on the first display area of the first screen portion, the continued finger touch contact being a dragging motion performed with respect to the selected graphical icon from the particular spot towards a particular direction along the first display area; displaying of the selected graphical icon as being moved with respect to the second display area, or moved with respect to the second display portion, or moved with respect to both the second display area and the second display portion due to the detected continued finger touch contact, based on a threshold length on the first display area for the dragging motion; and providing of a visual indicator that exists along an edge of the first display area, along an edge of the second display area, or along edges of both the first and second display areas, to indicate that the first display area and the second display area exist side-by-side to each other. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)
