Abstract
A method and portable electronic device for processing images are provided. Images are stored electronically at a remote server as attachments to message data, message data received at the portable electronic device with indicators identifying corresponding attachments to the message data. The portable electronic device comprises a processing unit interconnected with an input device, and a display device. First input data is received indicative that one of the indicators, corresponding to one of the images, has been selected, causing the image to be retrieved from the remote server. The received image is displayed at the display device. Second input data is received indicative that a next one of the images is to be displayed, the second input data received while the first retrieved images is displayed at the display device. The next images is then received from the remote server and processed to display it at the display device.
