Claim:
1. An adapter for adapting an electronic device to a modular electronic device system wherein modular electronic devices of the modular electronic device system each have a housing with two lateral edges, at least one of the lateral edges having at least one magnetic coupler, and wherein any two of the modular electronic devices are connectable to one another by coupling corresponding magnetic couplers of the two modular electronic devices with one another, the adapter comprising: a housing having two lateral edges, a cavity between the lateral edges and being adapted to receive the electronic device, and adapt the electronic device to be a first modular electronic device of the modular electronic device system, at least one of the two lateral edges of the housing having at least one magnetic coupler connectable with at least one magnetic coupler of the modular electronic device system by coupling the at least one magnetic coupler of the adapter with the at least one magnetic coupler of the modular electronic device system, the housing being configured to facilitate communication between the first electronic device and a second modular electronic device of the modular electronic device system when the two modular electronic devices are connected to one another by coupling corresponding magnetic couplers of the two modular electronic devices with one another.
