What is Web Clipping?
Web clipping is a fast and simple way to submit information to, and retrieve
information from, the Internet.
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 — either
through the MyPalm portal application, or downloaded and installed directly on
your handheld.
These "sites" are called web clipping applications. You access and work with them
just as you would with a handheld application like Address Book.
Web clipping applications give you access to a wide variety of practical Internet
information. Each web clipping application is designed to let you query the
Internet for a specific kind of information.
For example, there are web clipping applications that give you access to 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 can be impractical to browse the Internet from a small handheld computer and
look at elaborate, animated, graphics-laden web pages on a small screen. As a way
to access Internet information, web clipping offers you the following advantages:
Convenience: You can be sitting on a park bench or in the back of a taxi while
accessing information from the Internet.
Focus: Web clipping applications focus on retrieving specific, up-to-date
information for the quickest, most efficient experience.
So when you're near a desktop computer and have some time, you can take
advantage of the elaborate graphics, variety, and many choices offered by a web
site.
