A portable terminal capable of obtaining an input device having an intuitive and delicate instantaneous responsibility is provided by performing a manipulation of a second housing while viewing a display unit of a first housing. This portable terminal 10 includes a first housing 11 where a display 14 is provided; and a second housing 12 where a control unit 16 is provided. The second housing 12 is coupled to the first housing 11 in a freely pivotally rotatable manner along two directions perpendicular to each other around a first coupling shaft 18 and a second coupling shaft 19, which are two shafts intersected perpendicular to each other. In the portable terminal, the first housing 11 is griped by, for example, a left hand, and also the second housing 12 is griped by, for instance, a right hand corresponding to one's dominant hand. Since the second housing 12 is manipulated along a direction perpendicular to the first housing 11, an operation of an application program within the display is controlled while the display of the first housing 11 is viewed.
