Web Browser

If you set the option to display web pages already in memory, you are on occasion
likely to see a web page with a banner that says something like, “This content is
X days old.” This banner informs you that instead of connecting to the Internet,
Web Browser is displaying a page from memory. Of course, you can refresh the
page anytime. You can also have Web Browser display a confirmation dialog box
so that you must manually accept every connection made to the Internet.
Web Browser is secure
Web Browser uses advanced encryption technology from RSA. Encryption makes
your data unreadable by anyone but the intended recipient.
This encryption technology is used to secure the transmission of sensitive
information, such as credit card numbers, e-mail messages, and passwords. Data
is protected both when sent from your handheld over the network and when
coming in from the Internet directly to your handheld. For more information about
RSA encryption technology, visit the RSA web site:
.
When a wireless transaction is secured, the command button that initiates the
transaction is marked by the security icon, which looks like a key:
It’s not unusual to experience an additional delay of several seconds when a
transaction is being encrypted.
What Web Browser looks like
When you start Web Browser for the first time, the following screen—the default
home page—appears:
The Web Browser screen has three parts:
■
The title bar displays the name of the current web page.
■
The action icons let you navigate in the browser, refresh pages, and look at your
lists of favorite pages.
■
The rest of the screen is devoted to displaying the content of the web page.
