Download, storage, and retrieval device

Abstract

A self-contained inventive device capable of downloading and storing data from a personal information manager. The inventive device further comprises a feature that allows the data to be uploaded to either the same personal information manager from which the data was downloaded or to an entirely different personal information manager, wherein the different personal information manager may or may not be compatible with the original personal information manager. Furthermore, the inventive device comprises an operator input element whereby a user may input data directly into the inventive device. Such input data may then be uploaded to a personal information manager. Additionally, individual datum may be selectively removed from the inventive device such that that particular datum will not be uploaded to a personal information manager.
