1. A decodable indicia reading system comprising:

  • a mobile communication terminal comprising a first housing, a microprocessor disposed within said first housing, a memory disposed within said first housing, and at least one wired communication interface including a first electromechanical connector mechanically attached to said first housing;

    a removable scanning module comprising a second housing at least partially containing at least one of;

    an encoded information reading (EIR) device and an illumination module;

    a third housing configured to at least partially receive said mobile communication terminal and said scanning module;

    wherein said removable scanning module is configured to be communicatively coupled to said mobile communication terminal via an electromechanical interface;

    wherein said electromechanical interface comprises a first plurality of wires electrically coupling a second electromechanical connector to a third electromechanical connector;

    wherein said electromechanical interface is at least partially disposed within said second housing of said removable scanning module;

    wherein said second electromechanical connector is configured to be electromechanically coupled to said first electromechanical connector; and

    wherein said electromechanical interface comprises a second plurality of wires electrically coupling said scanning module to said first plurality of wires.
