43. Apparatus for use in accessing an application in association with one or more computer-based devices, the apparatus comprising: one or more processors operative to: (i) obtain the application from an application server, the application being programmatically represented by interactions that the user is permitted to have with the one or more computer-based devices by interaction-based programming components, wherein the interaction-based programming components are independent of content/application logic and presentation requirements associated with the application; and (ii) transcode the interaction-based programming components on a component by component basis to generate one or more modality-specific renderings of the application renderable in accordance with one or more modaility-specific browsers associated with the one or more computer-based devices, the interaction-based programming components being independent of any modality and any modality-specific browser wherein representation by the interaction-based programming components permits synchronization of the one or more modality-specific renderings of the application on the one or more computer-based devices.
