The system of claim 1, further comprising an engine configured to communicate data from the portable device to the separate electronic device to allow the separate electronic device to present an icon on a display of the separate electronic device such that the icon: (a) is a soft button that is linked to a particular audio file saved at the portable device; (b) is selectable by a user via the separate electronic device; and (c) is configured to respond to a user selection by causing the separate electronic device to request the portable device to begin playing the particular audio file. 3. The system of claim 1, further comprising the interconnection system, wherein the interconnection system is operable to couple the portable device to a power supply of an automobile. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the interconnection system further comprises an FM modulator. 5. The system of claim 1, further comprising the separate electronic device, wherein the separate electronic device wireless receiver. 6. The system of claim 5, further comprising a housing component of the portable device that at least partially defines an enclosure, wherein the wireless communication module and the audio output engine are secured within the enclosure. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the portable device is configured to accept a different over the air download of a media, further wherein the media is selected from a group consisting of an audio file, a video file, a piece of software, a book, and a message. 8. The system of claim 1, further comprising a housing component of the portable device including a front surface comprising a display, wherein the display represents more than half of a total width of the front surface and more than half of a total length of the front surface. 9. The system of claim 1, the portable device comprising a front surface having a length and a width, wherein the length is longer than the width, and further wherein the physical interface is located on a lengthwise side of the portable device. 10. The system of claim 1, further comprising: a network based engine that maintains data comprising information associated with files that are executable by the portable device; and a communications engine that is operably associated with the network based engine and configured to facilitate a communication of data to the portable device. 11. A wireless device comprising: a single physical interface configured to releasably engage a contacting portion of an interconnection system to form at least a portion of a communication path between the wireless device and a separate electronic device, wherein the physical interface has a generally rectangular shape and is configured to couple a first conductive element of the interconnection system with a component of the wireless device that communicates data and couple a second conductive element of the interconnection system with a recharging circuit of the wireless device, wherein the wireless device includes an application stored thereon that allows the wireless device to request an audio stream representing a local broadcast signal for a channel located remote from a then current location of the wireless device; a wireless communication module operable to receive an incoming telephone call and the audio stream; and an audio output engine configured to output information representing a played audio file to the separate electronic device via the physical interface and to alter an outputting of the played audio file in connection with a receipt of the incoming telephone call, and configured to output the audio stream. 12. The wireless device of claim 11, further comprising an engine configured to communicate data from the wireless device to the separate electronic device to allow the separate electronic device to present an icon on a display of the separate electronic device such that the icon: (a) is a soft button that is linked to a particular audio file saved at the wireless device; (b) is selectable by a user via the separate electronic device; and (c) is configured to respond to a user selection by causing the separate electronic device to request the wireless device to begin playing the particular audio file. 13. The wireless device of claim 12, wherein the interconnection system further comprises an FM modulator. 14. The wireless device of claim 11, further comprising the interconnection system, wherein the interconnection system is operable to couple the wireless device to a power supply of another device. 15. The wireless device of claim 11, wherein the wireless device is configured in a housing having a front surface having a length and a width, wherein the length is longer than the width, and further wherein the physical interface is located on a lengthwise side of the housing. 16.
