Using web clipping applications
In general, web clipping is a simple process of query-and-response
that works like this:
■ You open the web clipping application that provides the
information you want. For example, you open a web clipping
application that reports the weather.
■ You submit a query that requests specific information. For
example, you ask what the weather forecast is for San Francisco.
■ You tap a button that sends your request to the Internet.
■ The web clipping application sends your request to the Internet
and returns, quickly, with a clipping that gives you only the
specific piece of information that you requested.

diamond shape as their background and include the over-the-air icon:
Feel free to explore all of your web clipping applications to find out

the-air symbol in its icon, you can open any web clipping application
without incurring any cost.
