An apparatus including a first housing section and a second housing section. The first housing section includes a window having a touch sensitive member which is at least partially see-through. The second housing section is movably connected to the first housing section. The second housing section includes a display. When the second housing section is at a first position relative to the first housing section, a first portion of the display is located at a first location directly behind the window. When the second housing section is at a second position relative to the first housing section, the first portion is located at a second different location, spaced from the first location directly behind the window, and a second portion of the display is located at the first location directly behind the window.

An apparatus as in claim 9 wherein the image comprises an image of function keys. 11. An apparatus as in claim 9 wherein the image is specific to an application in use on the apparatus, wherein the controller is adapted to display at least one of a plurality of different images on the second portion dependent upon the application in use on the apparatus. 12. An apparatus as in claim 1 where the controller is connected to the window adapted to apply an electrical current to the window to cause the window to become at least partially opaque or reduce an angle of view for viewing information on the display through the window. 13. An apparatus comprising: a first housing section comprising a window, the window comprising a touch sensitive member which is at least partially see-through;a second housing section movably connected to the first housing section, wherein the second housing section comprises a display;and a controller in the first and/or second housing section, wherein the controller is connected to the at least partially see-through touch sensitive member, wherein the controller is adapted to allow the at least partially see-through touch sensitive member to function as a user input for the apparatus when the second housing section is at a second position relative to the first housing section, and the controller is adapted to prevent the at least partially see-through touch sensitive member from being used as the user input when the second housing section is at a first position relative to the first housing section, wherein the first position comprises a first portion of the display being located directly behind the window, and wherein the second position comprises the first portion of the display being located spaced from being directly behind the window, where the first position is a closed position and the second position is an open position. 14. An apparatus as in claim 13 the second position comprises a second portion of the display being located at the first location directly behind the window. 15. An apparatus as in claim 13 wherein the first housing section comprises an alphanumeric keypad. 16. An apparatus as in claim 13 wherein the second housing section is longitudinally slidable relative to the first housing section between the first and second positions. 17. An apparatus as in claim 13 wherein the first position comprises the display being completely covered by the first housing section, and the first portion of the display being viewable through the window. 18. An apparatus as in claim 17 wherein the second position comprises the first portion of the display being located above a top side of the first housing section, and a second portion of the display being viewable through the window. 19. An apparatus as in claim 13 wherein the touch sensitive member comprises a touch sensitive film which is transparent. 20. An apparatus as in claim 13 wherein an acoustic chamber is provided between the touch sensitive member and the display. 21. An apparatus as in claim 13 wherein the window is located at a first side of the apparatus, and wherein the first portion of the display is located at the first side of the apparatus when the second housing section is at the second position. 22. An apparatus as in claim 13 wherein the controller is adapted to automatically display a predetermined image on a second portion of the display located directly behind the window when the second housing section is at the second position. 23. An apparatus as in claim 22 wherein the image comprises an image of function keys. 24. An apparatus as in claim 22 wherein the image is specific to an application in use on the apparatus, wherein the controller is adapted to display at least one of a plurality of different images on the second portion dependent upon the application in use on the apparatus. 25. A method comprising: providing a first housing section comprising a window, the window comprising a touch sensitive member which is at least partially transparent;providing a second housing section including a display;movably connecting the second housing section to the first housing section, wherein the second housing section is movable relative to the first housing section between a first closed position and a second open position, wherein in the first position a first portion of the display is located at a first location directly behind the window, wherein in the second position the first portion of the display is located at a second location, spaced from the first location directly behind the window and beyond an outer edge of the first housing section, and a second portion of the display is located at the first location directly behind the window;and connecting a controller to the at least partially transparent touch sensitive member and the display, wherein the controller is adapted to automatically disable the at least partially transparent touch sensitive member from being used as a user input for the device when the second housing section is at the first closed position. 26.
