`In the Abstract
`
`Please delete the Abstract and replace it with the text shown below. A marked up

`
`Method and apparatus for previewing new eve events in a computing device
`
`having a plurality of applications for managing respective events are
`
`described. Individual applications are each represented by an application
`
`icon on a screen of a graphical user interface for the device. When a new
`
`event occurs, particularly when the new event relates to a specific one of a
`
`plurality of similar applications, the invention provides a convenient way to
`
`denote which application relates to the event. In response to a new event of a
`
`one of the applications, the application's icon is visually modified to notify of
`
`the new event. A visual modification may be determined in response to the
`
`new event, for example, to preview a content of the event. The visual
`
`modification may include a count of all new events that remain to be
`
`disposed. On a selection of the visually modified icon, additional previewing
`
`may be provided. Activation of the application having a visually modified
`
`application icon may be configured to automatically initiate the application at
`
`the new event.

`
`installed on mobile station 202 during its manufacture. A preferred application
`
`that may be loaded onto mobile station 202 may be a personal information
`
`manager for organizing and managing data items relating to the user such
`
`as, but not limited to, instant messaging (IM), e-mail, calendar events, voice
`
`mails, appointments, and task items. Naturally, one or more memory stores

`
`portions, namely an application portion 301 for displaying and manipulating
`
`icons (e.g. 304-312) for various software applications and functions enabled
`
`by mobile station 202 and a mobile station status portion 302 for displaying
`
`status information such as time, date, battery and signal strength, etc. FIG. 3
`
`illustrates three icons 304, 306 and 308 for respective IM applications IM 1,
`
`IM 2 and IM 3 and two icons 310, 312 for the two e-mail services Email 1 and
`
`Email 2. Associated with each icon is a name (e.g. IM 1) for the application
`
`for icon 304. The name may also be presented in a name region 314 of
`
`application portion 301.

`
`screen from icon 304 through 306 and 308 to highlight phone icon 502, visual
`
`modification 400 persists at icon 306 to maintain the visual modification and
`
`remind the user of the unread message. Preferably, only once the user
`
`activates an application and reads the unread message is the visual
`
`modification changed, for example, to decrease the count and, if applicable,
`
`remove the modification if the count is zero.
