Simultaneous operation of a networked device using multiple disparate networks

1. A method, comprising:

executing at least two applications on a network device;

retrieving available network connections to the network device;

transmitting a request for an update responsive to at least one of the at least two applications executing via at least one of the available network connections;

transmitting a confirmation request requesting the update;

wherein the network device utilizes at least two network adapters and the first network adapter is configured for transmitting the request for update data, via a first network connection, and the second network adapter is configured for transmitting the confirmation request, via a second network connection;

wherein the second network connection is a faster data connection than the first network connection; and

downloading the update data for the at least two applications via the second network connection.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein an available network having a greatest signal strength is used for transmitting the request for an update.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second network adapter is used for receiving the response and transmitting the confirmation request, via the second network connection.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein retrieving the available network connections to the network device comprises retrieving all available network connections to the network device.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein retrieving all available network connections from the network device comprises retrieving signal strengths of all available networks.

6. The method of claim 1 , comprising receiving a response indicating that the update is available.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein executing the at least one application on the network device further comprises invoking the application on a separated thread.

8. A device; comprising:

a processor configured to execute at least two applications on the device and to retrieve available network connections to the device;

a transmitter configured to transmit a request for an update responsive to at least one of the at least two applications being executed via at least one of the available network connections; and

a receiver;

wherein the processor is further configured to transmit a confirmation request requesting the update;

wherein the device utilizes at least two network adapters and the first network adapter is configured to transmit the request for update data, via a first network connection, and the second network adapter is configured to transmit the confirmation request, via a second network connection;

wherein the second network connection is a faster data connection than the first network connection; and

wherein the receiver is configured to download the update data for the at least two applications via the second network connection.

9. The device of claim 8 ; wherein an available network having a greatest signal strength is used to transmit the request for an update.

10. The device of claim 8 , wherein the second network adapter is used to receive the response and transmit the confirmation request, via the second network connection.

11. The device of claim 8 , wherein the retrieval of the available network connections to the network device comprises the retrieval of all available network connections to the network device.

12. The device of claim 11 , wherein the retrieval of all available network connections from the network device comprises a retrieval of signal strengths of all available networks.

13. The device of claim 8 , wherein the receiver is configured to receive a response indicating that the update is available.

14. The device of claim 8 , wherein the at least one application being executed on the device further comprises the application being invoked on a separated thread.

15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform:

executing at least two application on a network device;

retrieving available network connections to the network device;

transmitting a request for an update responsive to at least one of the at least two applications executing via at least one of the available network connections; and

transmitting a confirmation request requesting the update;

wherein the network device utilizes at least two network adapters and the first network adapter is configured for transmitting the request for update data, via a first network connection, and the second network adapter is configured for transmitting the confirmation request, via a second network connection;

wherein the second network connection is a faster data connection than the first network connection; and

downloading the update data for the at least two applications via the second network connection.

16. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein an available network having a greatest signal strength is used for transmitting the request for an update.

17. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the second network adapter is used for receiving the response and transmitting the confirmation request, via the second network connection.

18. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein retrieving the available network connections to the network device comprises retrieving all available network connections to the network device.

19. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein retrieving all available network connections from the network device comprises retrieving signal strengths of all available networks.

20. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , configured to store instructions that when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform receiving a response indicating that the update is available.
