Abstract
This invention describes a special cradle having mechanical switches to facilitate interactions between a communication device, such as a mobile device or a mobile phone, and a user of the devices, wherein the communication device is mounted on the cradle. When the user pushes the communication device in different directions, the device moves and tilts within the stable cradle. The movements are registered through the mechanical switches within the cradle. The states of the switches are communicated to the device (phone) through a mechanical connector or a wireless communication channel as a corresponding command, and the user interface reacts accordingly.
