1. A tablet computing device, comprising: a housing that includes a recess;a support member coupled to the housing, wherein the support member is to support the housing in a plurality of orientations in an extended position and occupy the recess in a stowed position; anda port disposed on the support member, wherein the port is accessible when the support member supports the housing in the plurality of orientations and is inaccessible in the stowed position,wherein the support member includes a wireless component coupled to the port to facilitate communication between the port and another component in the housing. 2. The tablet computing device of claim 1, wherein the support member is coupled to the housing via a hinge. 3. The tablet computing device of claim 1, wherein the wireless component is a near field communication device to communicate with another component in the housing. 4. The tablet computing device of claim 1, wherein the support member comprises an isolating material to isolate the port from an electrical signal of another component within the housing. 5. The tablet computing device of claim 1, wherein the support member is substantially flush with a back side of the housing in a stowed position. 6. The tablet computing device of claim 1, wherein a first orientation of the plurality of orientations is a landscape orientation and a second orientation of the plurality of orientations is a portrait orientation. 7. The tablet computing device of claim 1, wherein the port is a universal serial bus (“USB”) port. 8. The tablet computing device of claim 1, further comprising a second port, wherein the first port is a universal serial bus port and the second port is a secure digital (“SD”) port. 9. A computing device, comprising: a touch sensitive display mounted within a housing, wherein the touch sensitive display is capable of operation in a plurality of orientations; anda support member coupled to the housing, wherein the support member includes a port and is to support the touch sensitive display in the plurality of orientations in an extended position and isolate the port while in a stowed position,wherein the support member includes a wireless component coupled to the port to facilitate communication between the port and another component in the housing. 10. The computing device of claim 9, wherein the support member is coupled to the housing via a hinge. 11. The computing device of claim 9, wherein the support member is coupled to the housing via a hinge, and the wireless component is a near field communication device to communicate with another component within the housing. 12. The computing device of claim 9, wherein the support member is to support the touch sensitive display in a landscape orientation and a portrait orientation. 13. The computing device of claim 9, wherein the housing is hermetically sealed around the display and the port utilizes a near field communication protocol to communicate with a component within the housing. 14. The computing device of claim 9, where in the port is a universal serial bus port. 15. The computing device of claim 9, wherein the support member is interchangeable with one of a plurality of support members, and wherein the plurality of support members each comprise a different port configuration. 16. The computing device of claim 9, wherein the housing includes a recess conformed to the support member, such that when the support member is in the stowed position a surface of the support member is flush with a back surface of the housing. 17. A method comprising: providing a housing for a tablet computing device, wherein the housing includes a recess to stow a support member; andattaching the support member to the housing, wherein support member includes one or more ports that are accessible while the support member is in an extended position and are inaccessible in a stowed position,wherein the support member includes a wireless component coupled to the port to facilitate communication between the port and another component in the housing. 18. The method of claim 17, further comprising: removing the support member from the housing; andattaching a second support member to the housing, wherein the second support member includes at least one port not included in the plurality of ports. 19. The method of claim 17, further comprising: determining a shape for the recess, wherein the shape enables the support member to remain hidden from view in the stowed position. 20. The method of claim 17, wherein the wireless component is a near field communication device to communicate with another component in the housing.
