Abstract
A software environment (300) is established in a portable multimode communication device (PMCD) (100) in which a plurality of software applications (310, 312, 314, 316) are executing. Each software application performs a predetermined function using a hardware set. The hardware set includes a plurality of hardware resources (204, 206, 209, 210, 218, 220, 222, 104, 226, 236, 228, 232, 230, 234) provided on the PMCD. The PMCD will periodically evaluate a usage scenario and, based on this evaluation, allocates to each software application selected ones of the plurality of hardware resources comprising the hardware set. The allocation of hardware resources comprising each hardware set is dynamically varied in response to the evaluating.
