Abstract
A system for communicating with a mobile device is provided by aggregating content from at least one source of content having a first set of markup tags readable by executable code on the mobile device and a second set of markup tags. The aggregated content having the second set of markup tags is formatted with the first set of markup tags by either reorganizing the aggregated content, extracting irrelevant information, incorporating relevant information, combining one or more source together. A set of actions based on the formatted content is displayed using the first set of markup tags.
