Abstract

Method and system are disclosed for a keyboard (200) having a built-in docking station (204) for a handheld media device. The built- in docking station allows the handheld media device to be accessed from the computer and also recharged in some cases without requiring any additional setup or adding clutter to the computer work area, since the keyboard is already set up in the work area. In some embodiments, keyboard key codes may be intercepted and routed directly to the docking station, thus allowing the handheld media device to be accessed from the keyboard independently of the computer. Alternatively (or in addition), the keyboard may have a built-in media reader (406) for accessing a removable memory of the handheld media device. In some embodiments, a video display (606) and/or speakers (506) for the handheld media device may also be built-in the keyboard.
