Claim:
1. A method of managing a client application session within a communications network, comprising: establishing a local wireless connection between a secondary communication terminal and a primary communication terminal, the primary communication terminal having a higher-quality user interface environment as compared to the secondary communication terminal; determining that the local wireless connection between the secondary communication terminal and the primary communication terminal has been disconnected; and responsive at least in part to the disconnection determination, selectively transitioning the client application session, which is hosted by the primary communication terminal via a client application being executed thereon prior to the disconnection determination, to the secondary communication terminal, wherein the selectively transitioning includes automatically transitioning the client application to the secondary communication terminal in response to the disconnection determination without user interaction or prompting a user via the secondary communication terminal to indicate whether the user desires to transition the client application session to the secondary communication terminal.
