232 Web Clipping Applications
Web Clipping Applications
Web Clipping is a fast and easy way to retrieve information
from the Internet on your phone. A simple process of query
and response is used to send and retrieve information. Most of
the large graphics are removed to achieve a faster download
rate.
Just as an ordinary desktop browser gives you access to many
different websites, your phone gives you access to many
different web clipping sites. These sites are called web clipping
applications. They are created from third party developers, but
are used like a Palm OS® application such as Date Book. The
web clipping application is displayed as an icon in the
Application Launcher.
Web Clipping vs. Web Browsing
When you browse the internet with Netscape Navigator or
Microsoft Explorer, you are using a desktop machine capable
of displaying complex graphic images and text at a relatively
high speed. With your phone, that approach is not as effective.
The screen is smaller and the memory is far less than what is
needed to process all the images.
Web Clipping takes a new approach to getting information
from the Internet. Instead of downloading complex images, a
query and response technique is used.
The Clipping offers the following advantages:
ᮣ Convenience - Since your phone has a wireless Internet
connection, it can be used anywhere.
ᮣ Focus - Web Clipping applications focus on retrieving
small pieces of up-to-date information.
