HOW TO SEND CONTENT FROM THE INTERNET
In addition to receiving free daily Info Feeds from Yahoo!, you can choose to send
personalized, customized Alerts to your Internet Messenger Watch from select
Internet content providers, as long as you have a PC with Internet access.
Services include sending Internet e-mails to your watch, as well as news
updates, sports scores, weather reports, stock quotes, flight info, horoscopes and
more. Both the volume of content and the number of websites that support mobile
devices will be constantly growing as the technology becomes more widespread.
