wherein the part of HTML content is segmented.

4. The mobile electronic device of claim 1 wherein the viewing angle of the user comprises a certain view of the image or the segmented information having text associated with the image.

5. The mobile electronic device of claim 1 wherein the display device responsive to multi-touch inputs is a flexible display device.

6. The mobile electronic device of claim 1 wherein the display device responsive to multi-touch inputs is an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device.

7. A method performed by a mobile electronic device, the method comprising:

displaying an image by a display device responsive to multi-touch inputs on the mobile electronic device, wherein the displaying is responsive to at least one of a plurality of sensors detecting rotation of the mobile electronic device;

sending, by the mobile electronic device, a request for segmented information having text associated with the image from a server over a wireless communication network, wherein the segmented information having text is part of hypertext markup language (HTML) content;

receiving, by the mobile electronic device, the segmented information having text associated with the image; and

wherein the segmented information having text is subsequently positioned or placed on the display device by the mobile electronic device based on at least two of the plurality of sensors, including based on a motion sensor and multi-touch sensors, detecting a physical position and a view of a user in relation to the mobile electronic device.

8. The method of claim 7 wherein the view of the user is a viewing angle of the user in relation to the mobile electronic device.

9. The method of claim 7 further comprising:

the image, the segmented information having text associated with the image, and information for placement or positioning are provided in multimedia messaging service (MMS) messages in relation to the part of HTML content; and

wherein the part of HTML content is segmented.

10. The method of claim 7 wherein the viewing angle of the user comprises a certain view of the image or the segmented information having text associated with the image.

11. The method of claim 7 wherein the display device responsive to multi-touch inputs is a flexible display device.
