Position based tactile reporting

1. A computer-implemented method for position based tactile reporting, the method comprising:

receiving a message on a personal digital assistant, wherein the message is at least one member of a group comprising: a text message, an email message, and a voicemail message;

changing a status of the personal digital assistant to indicate that the message is received on the personal digital assistant;

in response to changing the status of the personal digital assistant, instantiating an actuator to release a biasing element and cause a tactile element to move from a first position to a second position; and

biasedly maintaining the tactile element in the second position to indicate the change of status, wherein the tactile element is movable from the second position to the first position upon receiving a force to overcome the biasing element.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the actuator includes at least one member of a group comprising: a mechanical actuator, an electronic actuator, a magnetic actuator, and a servo.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the tactile element includes at least one member of a group comprising: a key, a button, a soft key, an antenna, and a directional pad.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising moving the tactile element to a third position.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the tactile element is movable between at least one member of a group comprising: an inwardly and an outwardly position, and an upwardly and a downwardly position.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the actuator, the biasing element and the tactile element are located on a secondary device.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 6 , wherein the secondary device is a key fob.

8. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 , wherein the secondary device is a key fob.

9. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , further comprising moving the tactile element to a third position.

10. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the tactile element is movable between at least one member of a group comprising: an inwardly and an outwardly position, and an upwardly and a downwardly position.

11. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the actuator, the biasing element and the tactile element are located on a secondary device.

12. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the message is at least one member of a group comprising; a text message, an email message, a status message, an internal computing device message.

13. A computer-readable storage medium having computer executable instructions for position based tactile reporting, the instructions comprising:

receiving a message on a mobile computing device;

changing a status of the mobile computing device to indicate that the message is received on the mobile computing device;

in response to changing the status of the mobile computing device, instantiating an actuator to release a biasing element and cause a tactile element to move from a first position to a second position;

biasedly maintaining the tactile element in the second position to indicate the change of status;

receiving a force to overcome the biased maintenance of the tactile element and to move the tactile element for the second position back to the first position; and

resetting the status of the mobile computing device in response to the tactile element moving back to the first position.

14. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the actuator includes at least one member of a group comprising: a mechanical actuator, an electronic actuator, a magnetic actuator, and a servo.

15. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the tactile element includes at least one member of a group comprising: a key, a button, a soft key, an antenna, and a directional pad.

16. A computer-implemented method for position based tactile reporting, the instructions comprising:

receiving a message on a secondary mobile device, wherein the message indicates that a message was received on a primary computing device and is at least one member of a group comprising: a text message, an email message, and a voicemail message;

in response to receiving the message on the secondary mobile device, instantiating, on the secondary mobile device, an actuator to release a biasing element and cause a tactile element to move from a first position to a second position;

biasedly maintaining the tactile element in the second position to indicate the change of status;

receiving, on the secondary mobile device, a force to overcome the biased maintenance of the tactile element and to move the tactile element for the second position back to the first position; and

resetting the secondary mobile device in response to the tactile element moving back to the first position.

17. The computer-implemented method of claim 16 , wherein the actuator includes at least one member of a group comprising: a mechanical actuator, an electronic actuator, a magnetic actuator, and a servo.

18. The computer-implemented method of claim 16 , wherein the tactile element includes at least one member of a group comprising: a key, a button, a soft key, an antenna, and a directional pad.

19. The computer-implemented method of claim 16 , wherein the tactile element is movable between at least one member of a group comprising: an inwardly and an outwardly position, and an upwardly and a downwardly position.

20. The computer-implemented method of claim 16 , wherein the secondary device is a key fob.
