A reconfigurable audiovisual previewing system (100) includes a user interface module (110), a media communications module (120), and a plurality of application programs (200). One of the plurality of applications programs (200) is selected and configures the interface module to identify the product of interest. The selected application program also configures the media communications module to transmit, in response to the product's identification, a request for related product information stored in a multimedia server (460), and to receive and play the product information retrieved from said multimedia file server (460) in response to said transmitted request.
