METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REPUBLISHING ELECTRONIC CONTENT FROM A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE

摘要

A wireless communication device (10), such as a cellular handset, is configured to retrieve published content through a supporting communication network (14), modify the published content by adding content and republish the modified content through the supporting communication network (14). For example, the device (10) may retrieve published content through a web feed, offer its user the ability to add commentary or other modifications to the content, and republish the modified content. In at least one embodiment, republishing of the modified content comprises posting the modified content for access through a web feed, which may be the same or different from the originating feed, so that the modified content is identifiable as a republished version of originally posted content. As one example, the device's user could retrieve audio content, such as from a podcast, listen to the content, insert comments as desired, and republish the modified content, all while operating in a mobile environment.
