Abstract
A method of marking data objects on a communication device for transfer is disclosed which involves presenting a data object on the user interface of an electronic device (402). After a data object is presented on the user interface (402), the present invention determines if the data object is capable of transfer to another communication device (404). This determination involves applying a set of criteria to the data object to determine if the electronic device can provide for the transfer, considering the attributes of the data object such as size and file type. If the data object is such that it can be transferred, a transfer enable indicator is presented on the display of the electronic device (406). The user can mark a data object for transfer when the transfer enable indicator is presented on the user interface (408).
