Using Web Clipping Applications
Web Clipping is basically a query and response technique that
gathers information from the Internet and downloads it to
your phone. The process works like this:

the desired information, for example Movie Listings.
ᮣ Next, a query is sent for specific information. For example,
movie listings in your zip code.
ᮣ Next, you enter a zip code in a space provided and tap a
“Submit” button to request the desired movie listings from
the Internet.
ᮣ The web clipping application sends the request to the
Internet and returns quickly with a clipping that gives the
piece of information requested. In this case, current movie
listings in your zip code.
