You can select to simply download headers, or retrieve full messages and you can decide whether you want to leave the messages on your ISPs server or not. SMS is equally useable, making it far easier to send meaningful messages, rather than struggling with the data entry tools of a mobile phone. Web clipping is an interesting way of accessing the Internet. Recognising the current limitations of the mobile phone network when it comes to accessing Web sites, Palm has opted for Web clipping, rather than provide a painfully slow Web browser. It works by accessing specific information on a "query and response" basis. For example, rather than visit the MapQuest Web site and wait to download pages designed for 56K access, you can simply enter the details of directions you require in the MapQuest Web clipping application and pull just those directions from the site. You don't have access to all sites, only those that have a Web clipping application designed for them, but there is a good collection, covering most common interests available on the disc and more being developed and made available at the Palm Web site all the time. If you want to access e-mail and Internet information while on the move, then this is one of the best solutions that we have seen. Surf the Net, E-mail the office, SMS your friends The Palm Mobile Internet Kit is an easy-to-use, inexpensive software product that allows millions of Palm users worldwide to connect wirelessly to the Internet using a mobile phone or a Palm-compatible modem. The new kit offers Palm users the same quick and easy access to Internet content and communication tools that is available today through the Palm VII wireless handheld computer. Once installed, the Palm Mobile Internet Kit, provides access to Internet and web content, e-mail and messaging services through several popular methods. Web clipping technology, which was first introduced with the Palm VII product, is Palm's own technology which lets users quickly and efficiently access valuable information wirelessly without the burden of graphics and undesired information. Today, there are more than 350 web clipping applications available for free download at www. palm. net, and all will be available to Palm Mobile Internet kit users. For easy access to email, the kit also includes an email solution, MultiMail from ActualSoft, providing access to any POP3 or IMAP4 mail account. The kit includes a tool for using the popular short messaging service (SMS). SMS is the GSM standard for sending and receiving brief messages. This type of messaging is made quicker and easier than on phones alone by taking advantage of the easy input method of a Palm handheld. In addition, Palm Mobile Internet Kit offers users the option to access content via the wireless application protocol (WAP). The WAP software provides much of the same content and filters available on some mobile phones, but can be viewed and manipulated easier via the larger screen of a Palm handheld.
