A compact device and method for communication and entertainment needs that include having interchangeable user-interfaces and combining various functions performed by different keypads and units into a single pad or unit. The device includes circuitry with transceiver capabilities, a chassis, a display, at least two Freestyle User-Interfaces (FUI) secured to the chassis that can rotate from an open position to a closed position, and a user-interface that provides the user with navigational control and image conversion. The method of interchanging at least two FUIs includes providing a chassis for securely holding the circuitry, rotatably securing the user-interfaces to the chassis, coupling the user-interfaces to the circuitry, and removably securing opposite ends of an elastic piece to each of the user-interfaces.

Device with interchangeable user-interfaces and method for doing same

A dual position foot pedal includes a base and pedal arrangement which enables access by one of the user's toe and a user's sole for manipulation of the pedal. Switching between the two pedal positions is achieved by rotating the pedal. In this manner, the foot pedal combines the functionality of two common surgical foot pedal types in one pedal.
