1. A method comprising:
- presenting media via a first application; and
switching the presenting of the media from the first application to a second application according to a work context that is transferred from the first application to the second application, the work context describing at least one user defined aspect to customize the presenting of the media in either said application;
wherein the switching is performed via an application programming interface (API) operable to communicate the work context and media between both said applications to enable continuous rendering of the media while switching sending of the rendered media between said first application and said second application.
