Abstract: A system and method for handling electronic notes in a mobile environment, wherein the system includes a memory configured to store an electronic note, which electronic note includes location information, a location detector configured to detect location information for the mobile device, and a processor configured to: monitor the location information for the mobile device based on data from the location detector; compare the location information for the mobile device with the location information in the electronic note; and activate the electronic note when the location information for the mobile device is within a predetermined distance of the location information in the electronic note.

Abstract: A component-based mobile device includes a server component for performing voice and data communication functions and a user interface (UI) unit for performing input/output functions. The server component is a larger unit with a larger server battery and more processing power and includes a engagement portion. The UI unit has a smaller UI battery and less processing power and is designed to fit within or removably attach to the engagement portion. The server battery may charge the UI battery when the UI unit is in the engagement portion. The server component and the UI unit may communicate wirelessly when the UI unit is out of the engagement portion and via a wired connection when the UI unit is in the engagement portion. The server component and the UI unit may be paired for encrypted wireless communication during the manufacturing process.
