In my case, the "display" is talking to "The System" -- so, I can opt
for any convenient means of connecting the two.  As I already use BT,
this was a much better choice than, e.g., ZigBee.

Yes, you can charge these in a "cradle" -- which is how they are
typically used when *not* being held in the hand (i.e., like a
very small "console" on a desktop, counter, etc. -- that just
*happens* to also be portable so you can lift it out of the cradle
and walk around while interacting with it).

Of course, if you are *actively* walking around, then a visual
interface is less than desirable... (you need your eyes to see
where you are walking!)
