       This work presents the Conceptual Multi-Device Design (CMDD)
       with a deeper discussion about its theoretical assumptions. The
       proposal suggests multi-device design by maintaining the
       application's conceptual model (wider perspective, including
       navigational and presentation models) on every interface to
       avoid ambiguities on the user's mental model. This consistency
       gives support to decision making problems, allowing users to
       behave according to their previous experience while executing
       one task on different interfaces of a given application. The
       CMDD framework that provides mobile access (with pocket PCs or
       smartphones) to desktop web interfaces is improved and the
       first impressions with beta prototypes are presented. We expect
       to conduct complete user evaluations sooner for a better
       identification of this proposal's advantages.
