The invention discloses a portable device (12) that allows the user (3) to access the Internet and World Wide Web. By connecting wirelessly to a host computer (1), via a cellular telephone, the device (12) receives bit map or raster images of the Internet and World Wide Web. The user (3) is able to scroll to an area within the displayable area (13) of the device (12), thereby initiating downloading in that area prior to downloading the rest of the image. The user (3) is further able to click on an area of the displayable area (13) to initiate downloading in that area prior to downloading the rest of the image. The device (12) enables the user (3) to view previously seen or accessed images or Web pages because the images and pages are stored in an internal memory. The device further receives data from the host computer (1) in two procedures thereby providing the user (3) with a partial image, and enabling the user (3) to realize sooner the information contained in that portion of the image, and click on a link. |
