A method ( 100 ) and apparatus for providing an application over a peer-to-peer network ( 200 ). During a communication session in the peer-to-peer network, data having a first format ( 240 ) can be transferred from a first device ( 205 ) in the peer-to-peer network to at least a second device ( 210 ) in the peer-to-peer network. Responsive to a predetermined event occurring during the transfer of the first data, data having a second format ( 245 ) can be transferred from the first device to the second device and/or a third device in the peer-to-peer network. The second data can include one or more data objects. Application data ( 250 ) for an application configured to process the second data then can be automatically transferred from the first device to the second device and/or the third device. The application data can include a data file containing the application or a location identifier for a location containing the application.
