System, Method, and Computer Program Product for Server Side Processing in a Mobile Device Environment

A method for enabling an account/profile on a server to be associated with a plurality of devices, comprising the steps of:

• (1) receiving device characteristics for each of the devices;
• (2) storing the device characteristics;
• (3) storing, at the server, content in a first form for devices having a first device characteristic;
• (4) storing, at the server, the content in a second form for devices having a second device characteristic;
• and
• (5) syncing one of the devices with one of the first form or the second form of the content based on at least one device characteristic specific to said one of the devices.

A computer program product comprising a computer useable medium including control logic stored therein, said control logic enabling a processor to cache device specific content in a server, the control logic comprising:

• receiving means for enabling a processor to receive a request for a data object from a device;
• determining means for enabling a processor to determine whether the data object is cached in a form specific to a characteristic of the requesting device;
• retrieving means for enabling a processor to retrieve the cached data object, if found to be cached by the determining means;
• and
• providing means for enabling a processor to provide the retrieved data object to the requesting device during a synchronization operation for the requesting device.

A computer program product comprising a computer useable medium including control logic stored therein, said control logic for enabling an account/profile on a server to be associated with a plurality of devices, said control logic comprising:

• receiving means for enabling a processor to receive device characteristics for each of the devices;
• first storing means for enabling a processor to store the device characteristics;
• second storing means for enabling a processor to store content, at the server, in a first form for devices containing a first device characteristic;
• third storing means for enabling a processor to store the content, at the server, in a second form for devices containing a second device characteristic;
• and
• syncing means for enabling a processor to sync one of the devices with one of the first form or the second form of the content based on at least one device characteristic specific to said one of the devices.
