The new patent from Sony Ericsson was called “portable electronic device with multiple input interfaces”. It looks like the new device was aimed to provide several functions in a single device to avoid old and inconvenient way of carrying two or more devices to perform different functions.

The present invention relates to an electronic device having multiple input interfaces. In one embodiment of the invention, the electronic device comprises a main body, a reversible flip attached to the main body, a first input interface on the main body, a second input interface on a first side of the flip, and a third input interface on a second side of the flip. The first input interface may be positioned on the main body so that it is covered by the flip when the flip is in a closed position. Thus, either the second or third input interfaces are presented to the user when the flip is closed. The user opens the flip to access the first input interface.
