Abstract

A personal entertainment and communication device having a headset that is electronically connected to a master unit via a flexible connecting cable. A digital music player and a microphone are included in the headset. A hinged door on the headset opens to accept a flash memory module or minidisk containing encoded digital music. The master unit includes a pager, a cellular telephone, a radio, digital music controls, radio controls, and time of day functions that permit the headset and master unit to act as a simple pocket watch. The user is alerted through the headset, even while music is playing from the radio or the digital music player that a call or page has been received.
