Web Clipping, not web browsing
It can be impractical to browse the Internet from a small handheld computer and
look at elaborate, animated, graphics-laden web pages on a small screen. As a way
to access Internet information, web clipping offers you the following advantages:
■
Convenience: You can be sitting on a park bench or in the back of a taxi while
accessing information from the Internet.
■
Focus: Web clipping applications focus on retrieving specific, up-to-date
information for the quickest, most efficient experience.
So when you’re near a desktop computer and have some time, you can take
advantage of the elaborate graphics, variety, and many choices offered by a web
site.
But when you’re in a taxi or a hotel lobby and need information fast, a web clipping
application makes it easy to find the specific information you need.
