1. A method, comprising:

displaying, at an electronic device, first information associated with a first application in a display area of the electronic device;

detecting initiation of a continuous gesture across at least a portion of the display area in a first direction, wherein the continuous gesture is associated with a request to display second information associated with a second application, the first application being different than the second application;

detecting a change in direction of the continuous gesture from the first direction to a second direction; and

in response to detecting the change in direction of the continuous gesture, reducing the display of the first information to a first portion of the display area and presenting a preview of the second information associated with the second application in a second portion of the display area in which the first information was presented prior to the change in direction of the continuous gesture.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

detecting a characteristic of the continuous gesture, wherein the characteristic is one of a first characteristic or a second characteristic; and

in response to detecting the first characteristic of the continuous gesture, discontinuing displaying the first information, and displaying the second application in the display area.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

detecting a characteristic of the continuous gesture, wherein the characteristic is one of a first characteristic or a second characteristic; and

in response to detecting the second characteristic of the continuous gesture, discontinuing displaying the second information, and displaying the first application in the display area.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the characteristic of the continuous gesture comprises one of the following: a termination of the continuous gesture, another change in direction of the continuous gesture, or a reversion in direction from the second direction to the first direction.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein presenting the preview of the second information associated with the second application comprises displaying the preview of the second information without launching the second application.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising: inactivating functional operations of the second application while presenting the preview of the second information associated with the second application in the second portion of the display area.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein presenting the preview of the second information associated with the second application comprises presenting information associated with a calendar application.

8. An electronic device, comprising:

at least one processor;

one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media coupled to the at least one processor and storing programming instructions for execution by the at least one processor, wherein the programming instructions, when executed, cause the electronic device to perform operations comprising:

displaying, at the electronic device, first information associated with a first application in a display area of the electronic device;
