Abstract
A method for providing a multi-stage device transition mechanism that is initiated based on a touch gesture may include receiving an indication of a transition gesture being performed at a touch screen display of a device in a first device state, and causing initiation of transition from the first device state to a second device state responsive to performance of the transition gesture, the initiation of transition comprising progressively replacing a display view associated with the first device state with a display view associated with the second device state based on a degree of repetition of the transition gesture. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also provided.
