1. A method for dynamically updating contents of a folder on a mobile device, comprising:
- identifying at least one folder on the mobile device as a dynamic folder;
determining, by a remote server, at least one context parameter respective of the dynamic folder, wherein the remote server is remotely connected to the mobile device;
searching a plurality of resources of information for applications that can be added to the dynamic folder respective of the at least one context parameter;
generating, by the remote server, an icon respective of each application found through the search; and
causing, by the remote server, an automatic display of each icon respective of each application in the dynamic folder, thereby dynamically and automatically updating contents of the at least one folder on the mobile device respective of each application found through the search; and
determining, by the remote server, an appropriate name to the dynamic folder based on a category of each application in the dynamic folder that uniquely identifies the stored application, when an existing name of the dynamic folder does not correlate to the contents of the at least one application.

12. A system for dynamically updating contents of a folder on a mobile device, comprising:
-
an interface for receiving identification from a user that at least a folder on the mobile device is a dynamic folder; a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor configured to store a plurality of instructions that when executed configure the system to; determine, by the system, at least one context parameter respective of the dynamic folder, wherein the system is remotely connected to the mobile device; search for applications that can be added to the dynamic folder respective of the at least context parameter; generate an icon respective of each application found by the search; and cause an automatic display of each icon respective of each application in the dynamic folder, thereby dynamically and automatically updating contents of the at least one folder on the mobile device respective of each application found through the search; and determine, by the system, an appropriate name to the dynamic folder based on a category of each application in the dynamic folder that uniquely identifies the stored application, when an existing name of the dynamic folder does not correlate to the contents of the at least one application. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
