ABSTRACT:
A hand-holdable docking station is adapted for mechanical and electrical connection with a palmtop computer. The docking station comprises a housing and means for securely affixing a palmtop computer to the housing. A deployable light source is housed/stored in a receptacle provided in the housing. The light source is deployable to a position such that the illumination footprint illuminates the screen of an attached palmtop computer but does not obscure viewing of the screen. The docking station includes a rechargeable battery pack for providing power to the deployable light source and the attached palmtop computer. Grasping means are included for ergonomic positioning of a human hand to allow substantially fatigue free handling of the docking station and for positioning a grasping hand such that the hand does not obscure viewing of the attached palmtop computer screen. The docking station also includes an electronic function board further including a facsimile/modem, a microprocessor and memory, and a pager connected to the microprocessor for receiving alpha
umeric page signals in excess of 55 characters per alpha page session.
