1. A processor-based system comprising:
- a processor;
storage coupled to said processor;
a circuit including an accelerometer to automatically produce a signal indicative of the orientation of the circuit, said circuit coupled to said processor; and
software stored on said storage to cause information to be displayed in different formats depending on the orientation of said circuit, said software to compare data from said accelerometer to stored data for at least two orientations of said display and to determine which stored data best matches the accelerometer data.

Abstract
A processor-based system may include a display and a sensor which detects the orientation of the display with respect to the rest of the system. As the system is displaced, the sensor detects the orientation of the system. The system may automatically alter a characteristic of information displayed on the display in response to the detection of a change in orientation.
