A handheld computing device and handheld music player are disclosed. The
handheld computing device includes a seamless enclosure formed from an
extruded tube. The extruded tube includes open ends and internal rails
which serve as a guide for slidably assembling an operational assembly
through the open ends of the extruded tube, a reference surface for
positioning the operational assembly relative to an access opening in the
seamless enclosure, and a support structure for supporting the
operational assembly during use. The handheld music player includes an
elongated extruded tube extending along a longitudinal axis. The
elongated extruded tube has a first open end and a second open end
opposite the first open end, and defines an internal lumen which is sized
and dimensioned for slidable receipt of operational components of the
handheld music player. The lumen includes rails for guiding the
operational components to their desired position within the lumen.
