Palm Web Browser was first launched in 2002, and succeeding versions have gone from strength to strength. The latest versions of the Palm Web Browser supports HTML, WML, XHTML, SSL, Javascript and CSS and can display any URL on the Internet. There are two kinds of Palm web browsers - online and offline. Online browsers are what most people are used to, like Internet Explorer, where you view the pages while connected online. Offline browsers use Palm's HotSync to download pages during a HotSync operation and save the pages for viewing later. Typically they use web clippings, which are a limited form of information retrieval from the Internet - kind of a miniature version of the web site you're trying to access. Palm Web Browser is an online browser and the first web browser for the Palm that equals anything desktop surfers are used to. It uses sophisticated compression technology to download text, which then displays while graphics continue to load in the background. Palm Web Browser allows you to save bookmarks (and categorize them), set a default home page, save pages to view later when not connected (caching) and set image and connectivity options. Palm's web browser uses a familiar interface, allowing you to scroll, skip back and forth, refresh, and check your history. These are features desktop PC users take for granted. Palm users were kind of getting used to only getting half the story until Palm's latest web browser came along. Incidentally, Palm Web Browser is compatible with most internet-enabled Palms, but older models without wireless connectivity will have to use a modem to connect to the Internet.
