Abstract
In a method for sharing multimedia application data by a plurality of communication devices, at least two communication devices establish a short-rang wireless communication link to a data distribution device. At least one of the communication devices informs the data distribution device of the data that are offered for sharing, and these data are presented by the data distribution device on a display. A user of one of the communication devices being connected to the data distribution device selects and requests data that he wants to download to a communication device, and the requested data are then transmitted to the communication device via the data distribution device.
