Abstract
A selective call device (130) has a receiver (204) for receiving information at a first rate and a switch (229, 230) for selecting a streaming mode for providing the information. A processor (210) for determining when the streaming mode is selected, and in response thereto, creates a buffer (221, 222) for retaining the information. The processor (210) transfers the information from the buffer (221, 222) at a second rate for a display (228) to present the information that is transferred from the buffer (221, 222) as a continuous stream.
