Abstract

The present invention provides a modular designed CompactFlash interface for voice and data applications. The present invention provides the advantages of attachments, such as a keypad, that attach to a PDA and give the PDA the ability to provide a wireless voice handset. Other attachments include a small screen attachment that gives pager/PDA-like interfaces for data transmission and/or retrieval.
