To access and interact with content and services over a network, such as the Internet, an external input device can be used to control a cellular phone or other communication device that provides connectivity to the network. A personal mobile Internet-enabled communication device may include a device driver component operable to receive a signal from an input device over a short-range wireless connection, wherein the signal is indicative that a particular shortcut key on the input device was actuated by a user. The personal mobile Internet-enabled communication device can include an Internet browser or media player, and an application call-out component operable to process the signal from the input device and pass a uniform resource locator to the Internet browser or media player based on the particular shortcut key which the signal indicated was actuated by the user. The Internet browser or media player receiving the uniform resource locator from the application call-out component is operable to communicate over a communications network with a particular online content or service provider depending on the particular shortcut key that was actuated. The communication device is operable to receive information from the online content or service provider and to present the information to the user. |
