What is claimed is: 1. A quick connect system for an electronic device, comprising: a docking station configured to engage the electronic device, the docking station having a locking mechanism comprising a pivotable locking arm actuatable to an unlocked position, the locking mechanism configured to
What is claimed is: 1. A quick connect system for an electronic device, comprising: a docking station configured to engage the electronic device, the docking station having a locking mechanism comprising a pivotable locking arm actuatable to an unlocked position, the locking mechanism configured to independently remain in the unlocked position and automatically return to a locking position in response to disengagement of the electronic device from the docking station. 2. The quick connect system of claim 1, wherein the docking station comprises a guide element configured to engage a corresponding guide element disposed on the electronic device. 3. The quick connect system of claim 1, wherein the docking station comprises a dovetail guide element configured to engage a corresponding dovetail guide element disposed on the electronic device. 4. The quick connect system of claim 1, wherein the locking arm is biased upright relative to the electronic device in the locking position. 5. The quick connect system of claim 1, wherein the locking mechanism comprises at least one extension member configured to cooperatively engage a corresponding recess disposed on the electronic device. 6. The quick connect system of claim 1, wherein the locking mechanism comprises at least one retractable extension member to secure the electronic device to the docking station. 7. The quick connect system of claim 1, wherein the locking arm is movable along a track between a locked position and an unlocked position. 8. The quick connect system of claim 1, wherein the locking arm comprises an extension for engaging a recessed area disposed on the electronic device. 9. The quick connect system of claim 1, wherein the locking mechanism comprises a locking assembly for securing a locking arm of the locking mechanism in a fixed position relative to the docking station. 10. The quick connect system of claim 1, wherein the locking arm is biased to a locked position relative to the docking station. 11. The quick connect system of claim 1, wherein the locking mechanism comprises a cam movable to cause engagement of an extension member of the docking station with the electronic device. 12. The quick connect system of claim 1, wherein the locking arm is biased in a locked position when the electronic device is removed from the docking station. 13. A quick connect system for an electronic device, comprising: a docking means configured to engage the electronic device, the docking means having a locking means comprising a pivotable arm means actuatable to an unlocked position, the locking means configured to independently remain in the unlocked position and automatically return to a locking position in response to disengagement of the electronic device from the docking means. 14. The quick connect system of claim 13, wherein the arm means is biased to a locked position relative to the docking means. 15. The quick connect system of claim 13, wherein the locking means comprises at least one extendable means configured to engage the electronic device. 16. The quick connect system of claim 13, wherein the pivotable arm means is movable along a track means to configure the locking means between a locked position and an unlocked position. 17. The quick connect system of claim 13, wherein the locking means comprises means for preventing actuation of the locking means. 18. A method of manufacturing a quick connect system for an electronic device, comprising: providing a docking station configured to engage the electronic device, the docking station having a locking mechanism comprising a pivotable locking arm actuatable to an unlocked position, the locking mechanism configured to independently remain in the unlocked position and automatically return to a locking position in response to disengagement of the electronic device from the docking station. 19. The method of claim 18, further comprising biasing the locking arm to a locked position relative to the docking station. 20. The method of claim 18, further comprising configuring the locking mechanism having at least one extension member for engaging the electronic device. 21. The method of claim 18, further comprising configuring the locking mechanism having a locking arm movable along a track between a locked position and an unlocked position. 22. The method of claim 18, further comprising configuring the locking mechanism having a retractable extension member for engaging the electronic device. 23. The method of claim 18, further comprising providing a locking assembly for preventing actuation of the locking mechanism. 24. The method of claim 18, further comprising configuring the locking mechanism having a cam for causing extension of at least one member of the locking mechanism into engagement with the electronic device. 25. The method of claim 18, further comprising biasing the locking arm in a locked position when the electronic device is removed from the docking station. 26. A quick connect system for an electronic device, comprising: a docking station configured to engage the electronic device, the docking station having a locking mechanism actuatable to an unlocked position, the locking mechanism configured to independently remain in the unlocked position and automatically return to a locking position in response to disengagement of the electronic device from the docking station, wherein the docking station comprises a dovetail guide element configured to engage a corresponding dovetail guide element disposed on the electronic device. 27. A quick connect system for an electronic device, comprising: a docking station configured to engage the electronic device, the docking station having a locking mechanism actuatable to an unlocked position, the locking mechanism configured to independently remain in the unlocked position and automatically return to a locking position in response to disengagement of the electronic device from the docking station, wherein the locking mechanism comprises at least one retractable extension member to secure the electronic device to the docking station. 28. A quick connect system for an electronic device, comprising: a docking station configured to engage the electronic device, the docking station having a locking mechanism actuatable to an unlocked position, the locking mechanism configured to independently remain in the unlocked position and automatically return to a locking position in response to disengagement of the electronic device from the docking station, wherein the locking mechanism comprises a cam movable to cause engagement of an extension member of the docking station with the electronic device.
