Abstract
A user interface for small computing devices. The user interface includes a display screen and a bezel encircling the display screen. The bezel is adapted to move relative to the display screen in one or more axes. For example, the bezel may be rotated about the display screen, pivoted about a pivot point, or moved in a planar direction. A cursor displayed within the display screen is responsive to movement of the bezel.
