Apparatus (portable electronic device, laptop, mobile-phone, smartphone, tablet, personal digital assistant, digital camera, watch, desktop, monitor, server) using synchronisation command to synchronise transient state 506 of content 516 provided using a first application with transient state 558 of corresponding content provided using a counterpart application, the synchronisation command using the first application with last instance of transient state of the corresponding content provided using counterpart application. First application and counterpart application are executable on first device or on first 550 and second device 500. Persistent state of content provided using first application can also be synchronized. Applications can be available but not open prior to use of synchronisation command. The command can cause a first default application to open. Time intervals for synchronization are based on: use of synchronization command; generation of synchronisation comment, user activity associated with first/counterpart application. First and counterpart applications provide common level of or equivalent functionality and use different operating systems. Transient content can be: pointer, cursor, audio/video file position; zoom factor; location on page or of window on display; window size or form factor; toolbar settings, highlighted elements. Communication involving server; infra-red; Bluetooth (RTM); wireless; radio-frequency identification; telephonic, network, wired connection is also claimed. |
