Abstract:
The present invention relates to a portable device configured to interact with any number of host computing devices. In operation, the portable device will initially appear to a host computing device as a known device type. The host computing device will be configured to interact with the portable device as the known device type. Upon such interaction, the host computing device will access indicia sufficient to identify the portable device as a second device type and instruct the host computing device to configure itself to interact with the portable device as the second device type.
