1. A method comprising:
- providing an adaptive address field in a network browser installed on an information processing device, the network browser including a user interface comprising at least a function description field and one or more associated virtual function keys;
detecting data input in the adaptive address field;
determining that the data entered in the adaptive address field comprises a network address;
establishing a connection to the network address; and
modifying the function description field and the one or more virtual function keys to facilitate use of a service application associated with the network address, using the user interface of the network browser as a user interface for the service application, wherein the service application is selected based at least in part on said data input in the adaptive address field.
