•Connect to an Internet service provider (ISP) or network and browse the Web. To do this, you need to create the connection first. See Chapter 7 for information on creating a connection.

The Mobile Favorites folder

Only items items stored in the Mobile Favorites sub-folder in the Favorites folder in the Internet Explorer on your desktop computer will be synchronized with your device. This folder was created automatically when you installed ActiveSync.

Favorite links

During synchronization, the list of favorite links in the Mobile Favorites folder on your desktop computer 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 information on synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop computer.

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. Synchronizing mobile favorites downloads Web content to your device so that you can view pages while you are disconnected from your ISP and desktop computer.

Use the Internet Explorer plug-in installed with ActiveSync to create mobile favorites quickly.
