摘要

An adapter module for a personal digital assistant (PDA) and a method for using the same are provided. The adapter module includes a processing sub-system enclosed by a housing, and a first and second connector coupled to the processor. The first connector electrically connects to a corresponding connector on the PDA. This allows for communication between the adapter module and PDA. The second connector electrically connects to a corresponding connector on a PDA dock. This allows for communication between the adapter module and the PDA dock. The adapter module may be mechanically and electrically coupled to the PDA while the PDA is docked in the PDA dock.
