Abstract

A strategy is described for forwarding content accessed using a first device to a second device. For instance, the first device can comprise a personal computer and the second device can comprise a mobile telephone. The strategy employs general purpose content-forwarding (CF) functionality. Different providers of content can rely on the same general purpose CF functionality to forward content to the second device, without requiring time-intensive and cumbersome manual modification of the CF functionality for each application.
