A small light weight modular microcomputer based computer and communications systems, designed for both portability and desktop uses. The systems make use of a relative large flat panel display device assembly (2), an expandable hinge device (10), battery power source (9), keyboard assembly (16), and wireless communications devices (32, 51). The systems are capable of bi-directional realtime communications of voice, audio, text, graphics and video data. Both wire-based or wireless communications methods and devices are implemented. Wireless communications devices may include one or more telephone-like handsets (14) and/or earset (34). The wireless communication devices may include one or more antennae ( 32). Systems can be configured in a portable arrangement similar to conventional notebook computers, but can be quickly and easily disassembled and re-assembled for office desktop uses. Systems may consist of a base computer unit (100) comprising wireless communication devices may act as a relay station relaying voice and other data between the handset or earset and external wide area communications networks. The system may be capable of performing, personal digital assistant (PDA), cellular telephone, conventional notebook computer, desktop computer functions.

I claim: 1. A method for handset unit communication comprising the following steps in any order: a) transmitting first data via wireless communication to a local area communication base unit a relatively short distance away; b) receiving second data via wireless communication from the local area communication base unit a relatively short distance away; c) using said handset unit to communicate, selectively, the first and second data to and from the local area communication base unit and to communicate third and fourth data to and from an external wide area network, wherein the communication of the first, second, third and fourth data are not necessarily performed simultaneously, and wherein the transmit power level of the handset unit when transmitting to the local area communication base unit is lower than when transmitting to the external wide area network; and d) wherein the first and second data include data formatted for computer e-mail. 2. The method for handset unit communication as recited in claim 1, wherein said handset unit is configured to a personal digital assistant (PDA) having PDA functions in addition to handset unit communication functions. 3. The method for handset unit communication as recited in claim 1, wherein said handset unit is a cellular telephone unit. 4. The method for handset unit communication recited in claim 1, wherein the handset communicates with multiple handset units or earset units. 5. The method for handset unit communication as recited in claim 1, wherein said handset unit is adapted to access the Internet. 6. The method for handset unit communication as recited in claim 1, wherein said handset unit is configured to function as a hands free speakerphone, wherein a user has an option to speak toward a microphone located on the handset unit, wherein the distance from the user's mouth is substantially larger than a conventional telephone handset. 7. A method for handset unit communication comprising the following steps in any order: a) directly communicating bi-directional wireless voice and computer data including wireless data networking communicating data selectively to and from a local area base unit and an external wide area network; b) transmitting a first wireless radio frequency (RF) signal comprising said data selectively to said local area base unit and to the external wide area network, wherein the data is not necessarily transmitted simultaneously to the local area base unit and to the external wide area network and wherein the first wireless RF signal transmit power level transmitted to the local area base unit is lower than the power level required to transmit the signal to the external wide area network; c) receiving a second wireless RF signal comprising said data from said local area base unit; and d) wherein said handset unit data includes data formatted for e-mail. 8. The method for handset unit communication as recited in claim 7, wherein said handset unit is configured to data networking functions communicating with one or more handset units forming a local area network. 9. The method for handset unit communication as recited in claim 7, wherein the handset unit is configured to communicate with said external wide area network, wherein the external wide area network is substantially the Internet. 10. The method for handset unit communication as recited in claim 7, wherein said handset unit communicates with an earset unit. 11. The method for handset unit communication as recited in claim 7, wherein said handset unit is a wireless cellular telephone unit. 12. The method for handset unit communication as recited in claim 7, wherein said handset unit is configured to send and receive e-mail via said external wide area network. 13. The method for handset unit communication as recited in claim 7, wherein said handset unit is configured to communicate voice and audio information. 14. The method for handset unit communication as recited in claim 1, wherein the wireless voice and computer data is relayed to the external wide area network by the local area base unit.
