1. A wireless device, comprising:

  • a memory configured to store a plurality of software objects, each software object of the plurality of software objects having a version; and

    a processor, coupled to the memory, configured to;

    create, in the memory, a device version summary list, wherein the device version summary list is configured to store the version associated with each software object of the plurality of software objects currently stored in the memory at the wireless device; and

    perform, upon bridging a connection to a server and before an option to access a menu of applications that includes one or more standalone consumer-centric applications available for download from the server is made available to the wireless device, a version update transaction with the server in response to a command, issued from the server to the wireless device during a wireless device-to-server handshake upon bridging the connection, to perform the version update transaction, wherein the processor being configured to perform the version update transaction comprises the processor being configured to;

    receive a server version summary list from the server, wherein the server version summary list is configured to store a version associated with each software object of the plurality of software objects stored on the server available for download to the wireless device;

    determine, based on a comparison of the device version summary list with the server version summary list, whether any of the plurality of software objects stored in the memory are associated with a software object stored on the server having an updated version;

    prompt, based on a determination that one or more updated software objects of the plurality of software objects reside on the server, a user for authorization to transfer the one or more updated software objects from the server to the wireless device; and

    transfer, based on the user providing the transfer authorization, the one or more updated software objects from the server to the wireless device; and

    access, after the version update transaction is completed and without terminating the connection to the server, the menu of applications available for download from the server,wherein one or more applications among the menu of applications are independent with respect to execution of any of the one or more updated software objects.
