Pocket Internet Explorer
Use Microsoft
®
Pocket Internet Explorer to view Web or WAP pages in
either of these ways:
• During synchronization with your desktop computer, download your
favorite links and mobile favorites that are stored in the Mobile Favor-
ites subfolder in Internet Explorer on the desktop computer.
• Connect to an Internet service provider (ISP) or network and browse
the Web. To do this, you’ll need to create the connection first, as
described in Chapter 7.
When connected to an ISP or network, you can also download files and
programs from the Internet or intranet.
To switch to Pocket Internet Explorer, tap and then Internet Explorer.
The Mobile Favorites Folder
Favorites are stored in the Mobile Favorites subfolder of Favorites in Inter-
net Explorer on your PC. This folder was created when you selected the
Favorites information type for synchronization in ActiveSync on your PC.
Favorites must be stored in this folder to be synchronized.
Favorite Links
During synchronization, the list of favorite links in the Mobile Favorites
folder on your PC is synchronized with Pocket Internet Explorer on your
device. Both computers are updated with changes made to either list
each time you synchronize. Unless you mark the favorite link as a mobile
favorite, only the link will be downloaded to your device, and you will need
to connect to your ISP or network to view the content. For more informa-
tion on synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the PC.
Mobile Favorites
If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later on your desktop
computer, you can download mobile favorites to your device. Synchroniz-
ing mobile favorites downloads Web content to your device so that you
can view pages while you are disconnected from your ISP and desktop
computer.
