HP TouchSmart Browser
Not available in all countries/regions
HP TouchSmart Browser is a simple viewer for displaying live content in your HP TouchSmart homepage. Its
interface is different from the Internet Explorer
®
interface, and can be more useful. Use it in a large tile to
monitor your favorite Web sites as they change content throughout the day.
The HP TouchSmart Browser supports only standard HTML pages. It does not support other display formats,
such as RSS feeds. To view RSS feeds, use the HP TouchSmart RSS feed tile.
If you are doing heavy Web surfing, and using sites with a lot of pop-ups, or downloading files
with secondary dialog boxes, use Internet Explorer or another standard browser. Internet
connection is required.
RSS Feeds
Not available in all countries/regions
RSS is a more efficient way of getting information from Web sites and blogs. Instead of searching for
updated news and information, you receive updates in the form of a live feed, called an RSS (really simple
syndication) feed. Some RSS feeds distribute other types of digital content, including pictures, audio files,
videos, or updates to view when you choose.
HP TouchSmart includes an RSS Feed Reader where you view feeds from Web sites. You can add an RSS
Feed tile by adding a new tile and choosing
RSS Feed .
To subscribe to an RSS feed in Internet Explorer:
1 Tap the Start button, and then tap Internet Explorer .
2 Tap the Feeds button to discover feeds on the Web page. Often this is an orange icon.
3 Tap a feed.
4 Tap the Subscribe to this Feed button.
5 Type a name for the feed, and then select the folder where you want to create the feed.
6 Tap Subscribe .
