Page 124 Web Clipping Applications and the iMessenger® Application
Adding more web clipping applications
When you set up your handheld, you find that several web clipping
applications have been preloaded onto your handheld.
When you install Palm Desktop software on your computer, you can
select many more web clipping applications. Use the Install Tool to
transfer these to your handheld.
Still more web clipping applications are available on the web site
http://www.palm.net .
You add web clipping applications to your handheld just as you
would any other application. See “Installing add-on applications” in
Chapter 3 for details.
Wireless Internet messaging:
the iMessenger application
Using the iMessenger
®
application on your handheld, you can send
and receive short text messages.
Your handheld is part of the Palm.Net network. This network receives
and stores messages sent to you at your Palm.Net address, and it
delivers any message you send directly from your handheld to the
Internet e-mail address you specify.
When you activate the Palm.Net wireless communication service, you
acquire an address on the network — for example,
username
@
palm.net .
Then, whenever you’re within coverage of the network, you can
communicate with anyone who has an Internet e-mail account.
Important: The iMessenger application is completely independent of
the Mail application. Mail does not use the transmitter or
the Palm.Net wireless communication service. See “The
iMessenger application differs from the Mail application”
later in this chapter for details. See Chapter 6 for
information about Mail.
The Palm.Net wireless communication service
The Palm.Net wireless communication service includes the following:
■
The network through which you access the Internet.
■
The web site on which you can track your usage of the service,
learn about the service and its features, and find new web clipping
applications to download.
