Abstract: Systems and methods for memorializing data from a portable communications device (e.g., a cellular phone or personal data assistant) are disclosed. One example is a system for providing printable files to a portable communications device. The system includes a portable communications device connected to a printing module. The portable communications device is also connected to a server, which is connected to one or more content providers. A user selected command from the portable communications device is received by a content provider, which returns an authorization signal to the server. The server, in turn, sends a printable file to the portable communications device, which is forwarded to the printing module to create media based on the file. Such a system can be utilized to conduct a commercial transaction (e.g., purchase of coupons or event tickets). Other aspects, such as security and creating printable image files, are also discussed.
