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!

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.
