An expansion device is provided for expanding the functionality of a
mobile electronic device while in a mobile mode and/or in a desktop mode.
The expansion device may be a media slice that provides multimedia
functionality to a mobile electronic device. The media slice may be
configured to receive an electromechanical interface from the mobile
electronic device and to replicate the electromechanical interface for
connecting to another expansion device, such as to a docking station or a
port replicator. The expansion device and the mobile electronic device
may be connected via a latch mechanism that easily couples and de-couples
the devices. An expansion system is also provided that includes a support
stand for providing orientation and support features for a computing
device and/or an expansion device.
