In this paper we describe the development and use of a novel, practical approach to the design of a mobile multimedia terminal for a virtual community. The specific design goal was a dedicated mobile terminal concept for horse aficionados who belong to the virtual stables community. We had to use a creative approach since the design was for a device of non-existent type, and to be used in a virtual environment by an atypical and challenging user segment. Using this approach we were able to get valuable contribution from the potential users to the design of the new terminal.
