Abstract
A mobile communication device that includes native and non-native capabilities has a single application platform, that is compatible with the operating system environment of the mobile communication device, and it has a plurality of instances of content that are created remotely from the mobile communication device and transmitted to the communication device over a network. The single application platform interacts with the operating system to control the operation of a native or non-native capability to display at least one of the plurality of instances of the content. A mobile communication device user enters commands into the communication device that when processed by the application platform allow the user to interact with the content.
