Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for managing virtual private network (VPN) connectivity for data communications are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes storing, in a computer-readable medium of a computing device, packages of code and configuration data that associate the packages of code with respective virtual private networks (VPNs), the configuration data associating at least one of the packages of code with at least two of the VPNs, and, in response to a request to execute application code included in a first package of code, identifying, based on the configuration data, a first VPN associated with the first package of code and binding a communication interface of the first package of code to a connection with the first VPN.

Managing VPN connectivity for data communications

Techniques for use in messaging from a portable communication device having a camera module are described. A first key for causing alphanumeric characters to be sent and a second key for causing a photographic image to be sent are provided on a display. During presentation of the user interface and of the alphanumeric character in a composition portion, a user input indicating selection of the second key is received. In response, a multi-step process is performed, including (a) controlling the camera module to capture the photographic image and (b) send the photographic image.

User interface methods and apparatus for use in communicating text and photo messages

Techniques for use in messaging from a portable communication device having a camera module are described. In an instant communication session, the portable device displays a message thread involving two or more participants and a text input field for entering text. In response to an input to capture an image, the portable device automatically captures a photographic image via the camera module, attaches the photographic image to a message, and sends the message to at least one of the two or more participants.

A method, apparatus and system for managing communications between a client machine and a mobile computing device. The mobile computing device comprising: a storage configured to maintain a host application; a processor configured to execute the host application; an interface configured to connect to the client machine, the interface further configured to carry a web request from the client machine to the processor, the host application configured to respond to the web request.
