Abstract: A mobile computing device comprising a rotatable I/O port module that includes a plurality of I/O ports providing connections with external electronic devices. The I/O port module is rotatable in relative to the main body of the mobile device between a working state in which the I/O ports are externally accessible to a user and a hidden state in which the I/O ports are externally hidden. The rotation may be controlled by a user through any feasible manner, such as exerting a tangential force, a physical switch or an on-screen soft button, in association with suitable hardware and software components. The rotatable I/O port module may be physically coupled with the main body of the mobile computing device through a rotational axial connector which may also provides electrical connections between the rotational I/O module and the main body.
