• the mobile device operable to present to a user in real-time and on a first presentation component of an external computing device, dynamic active content currently presented in association with the mobile device, wherein the first presentation component is not directly associated with the mobile device, wherein the dynamic active content is received by the external computing device from the mobile device, and wherein the dynamic active content presented on the first presentation component of the external computing device changes as the active content currently presented in association with the mobile device changes;
• and
• a receiving component on the mobile device receiving user input from one or more input components directly associated with the external computing device, wherein the one or more input components is not directly associated with the mobile device.

A system in a computerized environment for communicating active content of a mobile device to an external computing device, the system comprising:

• the mobile device operable to transfer data containing information associated with at least one of one or more display definitions associated with the mobile device, one or more navigational elements associated with the mobile device, and the active content currently presented in association with the mobile device to the external computing device, wherein the mobile device is in continued communication with the external computing device, and wherein the active content is transferred from the mobile device to the external computing device for presentation;
• and
• the external computing device operable to present the data transferred to the external computing device on a first presentation component, wherein the first presentation component is directly associated with the external computing device and not directly associated with the mobile device, and wherein the active content presented on the first presentation component of the external computing device is dynamic and changes as the active content presented in association with the mobile device changes.
