Abstract
In a wireless communication system (100), updated software is downloaded to a server (104). In response to a software update query sent by the server, a portable wireless communication unit (101) sends a software update response back to the server. The software update response can include a priority indication and a usage indication. A software update acknowledgment, sent to the portable wireless communication unit by the server in response to the software update response, causes the portable wireless communication unit to internally set a flag indicating the availability of the updated software. Once aware of the availability of the updated software, the portable wireless communication unit can download the updated software using a combined battery charger/software downloader (108).
