A portable electronic apparatus comprising display means including a screen (2) and configured to be simultaneously responsive to display control signals from a plurality of electronic modules (6,7,8) so that the screen (2) is shared by said modules. Thus, the modules are separately responsible for data/signal processing functions and the display means is provided so that the different data/signal processing functions of the modules can share the display. These modules may be readily disconnectable from bays in the portable apparatus; plug-in modules may include circuits for providing digital mobile telephone function (6), a clock function (7), and a circuit (8) having a microprocessor and a ROM storing application programs (i.e. diary or wordprocessor). The portable electronic apparatus may also comprise a memory means, audio transducers (speaker (3) and microphone (4)) and a pointing means (which may take the form of a touch sensitive surface coextensive with the screen). |
