The present invention relates generally to electronic devices with corresponding device DNA and specifically to such electronic devices that share objects by reference to this device DNA. The present invention includes sharing objects among two or more electronic devices with differing object processing capabilities. In particular, a plurality of descriptions of each of the two or more electronic devices and object meta-data, which describes objects, is referenced when objects are exchanged by the two or more electronic devices. For example, if a given electronic device requests an object that it can not process, the object may be transcoded so that this electronic device can process the object. The transcoding is a function of the electronic device's description, the object's object meta-data, and the intended use of the object.
