Abstract:
A mobile computing device is disclosed. The mobile computing device comprises a connector with a plurality of contacts and a processing resource. The connector is structured mate with different types of connectors. The mobile computing device also includes a data switching component that is configured to detect a type of connector that is mated to the connector. Based on the detected mated connector, the data switching component selects a signal path from the connector to the processing resource along either a first data path or a second data path.
