1. A device comprising:
- a display to show a representation of a three-dimensional image;
a first touch panel to provide a first user input based on the display;
a second touch panel to provide a second user input based on the display; and
processing logic to;
associate the first user input and the second user input so that the first user input and the second user input emulate physical manipulation of the three-dimensional image, andalter the representation of the three-dimensional image based on the emulated physical manipulation of the three-dimensional image.

10. A method performed by a mobile device, the method comprising:
-
displaying a representation of a three-dimensional image; detecting a touch on a first panel located on the mobile device; detecting a touch on a second panel located on the mobile device; detecting relative movement between the touch on the first panel and the touch on the second panel; and altering the display of the representation of the three-dimensional image based on the relative movement. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer-readable memory comprising computer-executable instructions, the computer-readable memory comprising:
-
one or more instructions for displaying a two-dimensional representation of an object; one or more instructions for storing information regarding three-dimensional aspects of the object; one or more instructions for determining coordinates of a touch on a first panel located on a mobile device; one or more instructions for determining coordinates of a touch on a second panel located on the mobile device; one or more instructions for associating the coordinates of the touch on the first panel with the two-dimensional representation of the object; one or more instructions for associating the coordinates of the touch on the second panel with the information regarding three-dimensional aspects of the object; one or more instructions for identifying relative changes between the coordinates of the touch on the first panel and the coordinates of the touch on the second panel; and one or more instructions for altering the two-dimensional representation of the object based on the relative changes between the coordinates of the touch on the first panel and the coordinates of the touch on the second panel. - View Dependent Claims (16)

19. A mobile communications device comprising:
-
a housing that includes a primary surface on one plane and a secondary surface on another plane; a display, mounted on the primary surface, to render a three-dimensional representation appearing to have multiple surfaces; a touch panel to receive touch input, the touch panel being mounted with a first portion of the touch panel on the primary surface and a section portion of the touch panel on the secondary surface; processing logic to associate input to the touch panel with the display, where the first portion of the touch panel is associated with one surface of the three-dimensional representation and where the second portion is associated with another surface of the three-dimensional representation, where the rendering of the three-dimensional representation is altered based on input from a touch pattern contacting the first portion of the touch panel and the second portion of the touch panel. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
