Abstract

A communication device for providing wireless communication for a personal data assistant in a compact package is provided. The communication device of the present invention includes a modem, an interface board and logic. The modem transmits and receives communications for the communication device. The interface board provides connectivity between the communication device and the personal data assistant, thereby allowing a user of the personal data assistant to transmit data using the modem of the communication device. The logic of the communication device periodically activates the modem to check for communications on a server. Furthermore, the communication device of the present invention includes a compact housing, thereby allowing the communication device to have a compact configuration.
