Abstract
Data objects are gathered and organized through a computer system and stored for subsequent access through a computer network by a mobile device such as a wireless telephone. The data objects have attributes and can be acted upon using predefined actions and associated types to greatly simplify user accessibility to such data objects through the limited user interface and bandwidth capabilities of a mobile device.
