DOCKABLE HANDHELD COMPUTING DEVICE WITH FILE TRANSFER AND METHODS FOR USE THEREWITH
First Claim
1. A handheld computing device comprising:
- handheld memory for storing at least one handheld application that includes a file transfer application and for storing at least one handheld file;
a handheld processing module, coupled to the handheld memory, for executing the file transfer application;
a physical docking interface, coupled to the handheld processing module, that accesses at least one extended file stored in an extended computer unit in a physical docked mode when the handheld computing unit is coupled to the extended computer unit via the physical docking interface;
a wireless local area network (WLAN) transceiver, coupled to the handheld processing module, for communicating with at least remote unit via WLAN communications;
wherein, when the handheld computing unit is coupled to the extended computer unit via the physical docking interface, the file transfer application provides the at least one remote unit access to the at least one handheld file and the at least one extended file via the WLAN communications;
wherein, when the handheld computing unit is uncoupled from the extended computer unit via the physical docking interface, the file transfer application provides the at least one remote unit access to the at least one handheld file via the WLAN communications.

Abstract
A handheld computing device includes a handheld memory for storing at least one handheld application that includes a file transfer application and for storing at least one handheld file. A handheld processing module executes the file transfer application. A physical docking interface accesses at least one extended file stored in an extended computer unit in a physical docked mode. A wireless local area network (WLAN) transceiver communicates with at least one remote unit via WLAN communications. When the handheld computing unit is in the physical docking mode, the file transfer application provides the remote unit access to the handheld file and the extended file via WLAN communications. When the handheld computing unit is uncoupled from the extended computer, the file transfer application provides the remote unit access to the handheld file via WLAN communications.
