Abstract
A system, method and computer program for establishing communication between a peripheral device and programs resident on a wireless computer device. The device has a computer platform with a wireless communication portal and one or more resident programs, and the computer platform includes an operating system that manages wireless device resources and the interaction of the wireless device with other computer devices. When a peripheral device selectively communicates with the computer platform of the wireless device via a wired or wireless communication, the operating system of the wireless device identifies at least the type of peripheral device and links the peripheral device with one or more of the resident computer programs.
