Web Clipping Applications and the iMessenger® Application
Web clipping applications
Just as your web browser gives you access to many different web sites,
your handheld gives you access to many different “sites” for web
clipping — as many as you care to add and your handheld can store.
If you have already set up your handheld, you have some already.
These “sites” are called
web clipping applications.
They were created by
third-party developers, but you open them and use them just as you
would a basic Palm VII application like Address Book.
Web clipping applications give you access to a wide spectrum of
practical Internet information. Each web clipping application is
designed to let you query the Internet for a specific kind of
information.
For example, the web clipping applications available to you when you
set up your handheld and install Palm™ Desktop organizer software
give you access to the following kinds of information: traffic and
weather conditions; airline, hotel, and restaurant information;
locations of automatic teller machines; driving directions; stock
market data; movie listings; availability of tickets to local events;
business and general news; definitions, spelling, and synonyms of
words; and business and residential phone numbers, addresses, and
e-mail addresses.
Web clipping, not web browsing
It’s impractical to browse the Internet from a small handheld
computer and look at elaborate, animated, graphics-laden web pages
on a screen the size of your handheld’s. As a way to access Internet
information, web clipping offers you the following advantages:
■
Convenience: Because your handheld is a wireless device, you can
be walking down the street while accessing the Internet.
■
Focus: Web clipping applications focus on retrieving small pieces
of specific, up-to-date information.
