A wireless communication device configured to gather device orientation information and an orientation information gathering method in a wireless communication device are provided. The wireless communication device in one example embodiment includes an interface configured to communicate with a user and with external devices, a storage system configured to store at least an orientation detect routine and reference point information corresponding to two or more reference points on the wireless communication device, and a processing system coupled to the interface and the storage system and configured to determine if a predetermined orientation capture event has occurred, if the predetermined orientation capture event has occurred, then determine relative positions of the two or more reference points, save the relative positions of the two or more reference points to the orientation information and accumulate the orientation information for the wireless communication device, and transfer the orientation information to an external device or devices at intervals.

Content lenses are used to manage the display of content in network documents. Lens content objects associated with a content lens are displayed upon activation of the content lens, allowing a user to control the amount of information provided in the network document. Content lenses are activated based on selection of a corresponding lens activation object. An activated content lens remains active as a user views additional network documents.
