The device has a USB port for connection with desktop and laptop computers, printers, and other devices in either host or client mode; a PC Card connection for choice of peripherals including modem, micro-drive, diskette drive, CD-ROM, and others; an IrDA port that allows the user to transfer files between this device and other PC products; and a compact Flash port for unlimited document storage.
