1. A communication device, comprising:
- a processor;
a display;
a network connection configured to connect the communication device with a remote communication device over a communication network;
a browser; and
a communication application configured to enable communication with the remote communication device over the communication network,the communication application and the browser both running on the processor and cooperating to create a user interface which enables a user of the communication device to participate in a conversation with the remote communication device over the communication network, the user interface enabling the user to participate in the conversation in either;
(i) a real-time mode;
or(ii) a time-shifted mode; and
(iii) to seamlessly transition the conversation between the two modes (i) and (ii) so that the media of the conversation may be rendered synchronously when in the real-time mode or asynchronously when in the time-shifted mode.
