A removable cartridge for a portable communication device. The removable cartridge includes frame having a first surface, and an opposite second surface. The second surface is non-planar and is shaped to conform to a shape of a speaker cone in the portable communications device. The removable cartridge also includes a membrane coupled to the first surface of the frame. A portion of the membrane is suspended over an open gap defined by the frame.

Removable cartridge for insertion into portable communications device

A device and method for deploying a plurality of mobile devices is provided. The device comprises: a communication interface configured to communicate with mobile devices; and a controller having access to a memory storing: respective facial images of users, and relationships between the users. The controller: receives, via the communication interface, a digital image including faces; identifies the users in the digital image, based on: the faces in the digital image, and the respective facial images of the users stored in the memory; determines relationships between the users identified in the digital image using the relationships between the users stored in the memory; assigns the mobile devices to the users in the digital image; and distributes, using the communication interface, respective resources to the mobile devices based on a respective assigned user and the relationships between the users identified in the digital image.

Device and method for deploying a plurality of mobile devices

A charger provides a user selectable interface which allows a battery operated portable communication device to be charged in either face-up or face-down positions. Both single-unit charger and multi-unit charger embodiments are provided. A dual contact scheme allows for the user to select either the face-up or face-down configuration. The face-down configuration accommodates battery powered portable communication devices having accessories as well as radio back housings of varying thickness. Additional storage bins are configured within the charging systems to further improve organization of multiple accessories. Magnetic coupling is also provided to facilitate organization of two or more single-unit chargers.

Charger device

A user wearable accessory provides push-to-tall (PTT), microphone and adjustable electrical cord length features in a single device. First and second adjustable electrical cords couple a portable communication device to an earpiece. The accessory is formed of front and back housing portions coupled together to provide a spooling feature therebetween. The spooling feature accommodates the two electrical cords such that a user is able to wrap each cord to provide an overall desired length. Users of different heights can adjust the cord length as desired thereby minimizing tangling of the cords.
