So your PDA has a modem and the proper software and you're ready to hit the internet. Just remember you can't expect to see the web in its full glory on a 4 inch monochrome screen, though a high-end handheld colour display comes close to desktop surfing. That said, there are a number of programs that are text-only or graphical web browsers for PDAs. Some browsers support many features of full-fledged desktop browsers like frames, cookies, downloads, bookmarks, and security encryption. Even better, many PDA browsers are shareware or freeware.
Many sites tailor and trim down their content to create a specific channel for PDAs.
Other applications like ProxiWeb use proxy servers to reformat web content before it gets sent to you. It's also possible to download web content to your PDA for offline viewing. Client software like AvantGo lets you choose the web channels you want, then every time you synchronize your PDA the web content is updated through your PC's internet connection. If your PDA has a modem you can also download AvantGo content online. Email Naturally, you'll want access to your email when you're on the road.
