Abstract
A hand held electronic data device which may conveniently be clipped onto a belt loop, purse strap, keychain, hook, or the like. The device includes a housing having a substantially planar base and a substantially planar carabiner clip assembly which is unitary with the base. A data input component is present on an exterior surface of the base. This data input component is capable inputting data and/or function commands into a microprocessor which is contained within the housing. A data display is also present on another portion of the exterior surface of the base, which data display serves to visually display data from the microprocessor.
