Zusammenfassung:	A touch screen input device is provided which simulates a 3-state input device such as a mouse. One of these states is used to preview the effect of activating a graphical user interface element when the screen is touched. In this preview state touching a graphical user interface element on the screen with a finger or stylus does not cause the action associated with that element to be performed. Rather, when the screen is touched while in the preview state audio cues are provided to the user indicating what action would arise if the action associated with the touched element were to be performed.
