Infra red seems like a pretty good choice to me. It doesn't have to be two
way, maybe have a press button on the device to start the transfer. Or if
you want wires I2C can be brought out on a jack socket.

I am looking for options for downloading data from a battery powered
device. The scenario is roughly as follows: The battery powered device
(Rabbit 3000 based) collects data ( perhaps 64k ) which is periodically
downloaded from system by "walk-around" data collector using a hand-held
device. Physical
connection to system should be uncomplicated meaning not having to open
the system housing or connect to delicate connectors.
a few brief suggestions/technology options would be greatly
appreciated.....
Thanks!
