Fling it
FlingIt™ allows
users to instantaneously "fling" Web pages from the desktop computer
to the Palm OS computer. Students can decide whether or not to include
graphics and determine the link depth of the captured Web pages. Students
can then view Web-based content at home, on the bus, or in their seats.
FlingIt sites can also be beamed from one Palm computer to another for
the sharing of Web-based resources. FlingIt is used in classrooms for
offline research (of online sources), creating a personal reference library,
and group research projects, among other applications.
