Pocket Internet Explorer
Introduction
With Microsoft Pocket Internet Explorer, you can view Web or WAP pages in the following
ways:
During synchronization with your host computer, download your favorite links and
mobile favorites stored in the Mobile Favorites subfolder in Internet Explorer on the
host computer.
Connect to an Internet service provider (ISP) or network and browse the Web. First
create the connection (see Chapter 4, Communications).
To select Pocket Internet Explorer, tap Start - Internet Explorer.
Mobile Favorites
Items stored in the Mobile Favorites subfolder in the Favorites folder in Internet Explorer on
your host computer are synchronized with your terminal. This folder was created
automatically when you installed ActiveSync.
Favorite Links
Synchronization updates the list of favorite links both in the Mobile Favorites folder on your
host computer and in Pocket Internet Explorer on your terminal. Unless you mark the
favorite link as a mobile favorite, only the link is downloaded to your terminal; you must
connect to your ISP or network to view the content. For more information on
synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the host computer.
Creating Mobile Favorites
If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 or later on your host computer, you can
download mobile favorites. Synchronizing mobile favorites downloads Web content to your
terminal so you can view Web pages while disconnected from your ISP and host computer.
Use the Internet Explorer plug-in installed with ActiveSync to create mobile favorites:
1. In Internet Explorer on your host computer, click Tools, then Create Mobile
Favorite.
2. To change the link name, enter a new name in the Name box.
3. If desired, select a desired update schedule in Update.
