Using web clipping applications
With web clipping applications, you can retrieve specific information
from the Internet using a query-and-response process. Each web
clipping application is designed to retrieve information from a
particular web site. When you want information from that site, you
make a query and the information is “clipped” from the site,
transmitted across the network, and downloaded to your handheld.
Note:
Additional web clipping applications are located on the
Mobile Internet Kit CD-ROM.
To use web clipping applications:
1. Prepare to make the connection. See “Getting ready to connect”
earlier in this section.
2. Tap the Applications icon
.
3. Tap the category pick list in the upper-right corner and select
Palm.Net.
4. Tap a web clipping application with the over-the-air icon
.
Tip:
The icons of many web clipping applications are easy to
recognize. They usually include the over-the-air icon:
three short lines radiating from the right side of the
application icon. Often the application icons have a dark
diamond shape as their background.
5. Tap the button or other object that displays the over-the-air icon to
submit your query to the Internet.
Tips:
Your handheld connects to your ISP by dialing the
number in your Network Preferences settings. When the
Internet connection is active, a small blinking line appears
in the upper-right corner of the screen. To end the
connection when you are done, tap the Menu icon, tap
Options, and then tap Disconnect, or draw the Graffiti
®
command stroke followed by the letter D.
