Handheld devices are becoming
increasingly popular choices for today’s busy mobile professionals.
While these devices provide many of the software functions required
for mobile business they are often lacking in expansion ports. Serial
connectivity is a flexible, low-cost interface choice for a wide variety
of portable peripherals and applications including: GPS receivers,
bar code scanners, printers, digital cameras, field data collection,
office automation, and industrial monitoring and control.

adLDIng serial ports to handhelds, tablets, PDAs, and other portable
computing devices. The CF cards are small, light and have low power

case and have a convenient removable connector cable. For extreme
environments, the single port model is also available with a ruggedized
