Claim Text:
1. A modular portable device system comprising: two portable electronic devices; at least one magnetic attachment point on a first one of the portable devices comprising an annular magnet having a central opening therein, an electrically conductive pin extending through the central opening and an electrically insulating layer insulating the electrically conductive pin from the annular magnet; and at least one corresponding magnetically responsive attachment point on a second one of the portable devices comprising a conductive ferromagnetic annulus configured and located such that when the first and second devices placed together, they are pulled together by magnetic attraction between the annular magnet and the ferromagnetic annulus, and the electrically conductive pin and electrically insulating layer further extend through the ferromagnetic annulus forming a shielded electrically conductive pathway between the devices.
