Abstract
A method of managing data stored in an electronic device includes determining a desired memory storage location for data displayed on the electronic device responsive to a written and/or audible user direction, and then transferring the data to the desired memory storage location responsive to the determination. The written user direction may define at least one alphanumeric character and/or symbol on a display of the electronic device, and the audible user direction may provide a spoken/voice command. Related electronic devices and computer program products are also discussed.
