1. An electronic device, comprising:
a device housing;
a blade assembly carrying a blade and slidably coupled to the device housing;
a translation mechanism operable to slide the blade assembly relative to the device housing between an extended position where the blade extends beyond an edge of the device housing, a retracted position where a major surface of the blade abuts a major surface of the device housing, and a peek position revealing an image capture device; and
one or more processors operable with the translation mechanism;
wherein the one or more processors automatically cause the translation mechanism to slide the blade assembly to the peek position in response to one or more triggers.
