Communication device for a handheld computer

摘要

A communication device is provided for use with a handheld computer. The communication device includes an electrical connector and a coupling mechanism. The coupling mechanism is configured to direct a housing portion of the handheld computer towards the electrical connector so as to create an active contact between the electrical connector and a connector of the handheld computer. Alternatively, the coupling mechanism is configured to resist separation of the handheld computer from the communication device so as to maintain an electrical contact between connectors of the handheld computer and the communication device.
