1. A mobile electronic device comprising:
- a multi-touch display layer, of the mobile electronic device, configured to display an image, wherein a tactile area on a clear layer substantially on the multi-touch display layer is associated with the image;
a processor configured to display, on the multi-touch display layer, a view of information based on applied force from a detected touch to the tactile area and a detected indentation level of the clear layer, wherein the applied force is detected by a layer of sensors substantially behind the multi-touch display layer and the indentation level is detected in part with accelerometer based information; and
the processor further configured to display, on the multi-touch display layer, a menu based on a detected further indentation of the tactile area on the clear layer.
