Using Channels
A channel (or mobile channel) is a Web site or other Web-
formatted content that is available for offline viewing on your
P/PC. Channels allows Internet, intranet, or other Web-
formatted content to be automatically downloaded to your P/PC
from your desktop computer via synchronization. For more
information on synchronizing channels, see ActiveSync Help on
the desktop computer and see the Synchronizing data section
in chapter 6.
Content can be updated on a regular basis, such as updates from
a news channel, or on a one-time basis, such as movie listings
from an entertainment channel.
Channels and automatic updates to them are managed on the
desktop computer by Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher. Use
Internet Explorer on your desktop computer to view channels
offline.
