The invention relates to a method of transmitting data from portable electronic devices to a communication network, such as the Internet, or a mobile phone network, and to a corresponding device and computer program product. An initiating device with a wireless link to the communication network is configured to access data on a subsidiary device using a local wired, or wireless connection. Reduced size representations of the data on the subsidiary device, such as thumbnails images, or filenames, are downloaded to the initiating device for selection. Having selected the data for transmission, and the mode of transmission, such as e-mail or MMS for example, the data is transmitted by streaming it from the subsidiary device over the local connection and into the outgoing data stream to the communication network. In this way, the initiating device need never store a complete copy of the file being transmitted. |
