A connector assembly is provided for use with a handheld computing system.
The connector assembly includes a first connector including a plurality of
contact elements. The first connector is adapted to reside on a handheld
computer. A first coupling structure resides on the handheld computer and
includes a first aperture. A second connector includes a second plurality
of contact elements. The second connector is configured to reside on a
cradle for a portable computer and is matable to the first connector. A
latch member is configured to extend from the cradle into the first
aperture to couple the cradle to the handheld computer. The latch member
may bias to engage the first aperture. The latch member is positioned
relative to the first connector and the second connector to create a
moment that directs at least a portion of the handheld computer towards
remaining on the cradle.
