Abstract: An adapter attaches to a radiotelephone card connected to a PCMCIA interface within an electronic device and is configured to provide electrical power and audio functionality to the radiotelephone card independent of the PCMCIA interface. An adapter according to the present invention is configured to be substantially flush with the housing of an electronic device.

Abstract: An earpiece assembly includes an earbud that is pivotably mounted to a stem. In the use position, the earpiece assembly is preferably generally L-shaped with the face of the earbud being generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the stem. The earpiece assembly may be pivoted from the use position to a storage position. The amount of pivoting is generally 90° or more, and preferably approximately 180°. In a first storage position, the earbud front face is generally normal to the stem longitudinal axis. In a second storage position where the earbud front face is generally parallel to the stem longitudinal axis. For storage, the earpiece assembly is preferably mated with the associated electronic device such that the stem is at least partially within a suitable recess in the casing of the electronic device. The ability of the earbud to pivot relative to the stem allows the earbud to assume a variety of configurations.
