A networked object delivery system for a personal computing device
includes a network, a personal computing device at least part time
coupled to the network, and a service agent server at least part time
coupled to the network. The personal computing device is preferably a PDA
or the like, but can also include personal computers, laptop computers,
notebook computers, etc. The personal computing device locally operates
on a requested document with at least one downloaded application module
from the network. The service agent server will download a requested
document and at least one application module to the personal computing
device over the network in response to a request for the document and in
response to a desired action to be performed on that document.
