摘要

A system (10) for providing Internet-related services to a handheld device includes a client module (12) embedded in the handheld device (11) to enable the handheld device (11) to send a Universal Resource Locator (URL) via a communication link (15). The URL indicates a desired web page. The system (10) also includes a receiver (21) that receives the URL sent from the handheld device (11) via the communication link (15). A web access module (22) is coupled to the receiver (11) and external Internet (17) to access and retrieve the desired web page from a remote web server (19) via the external Internet (17). A render system (23) is coupled to the web access module (22) to render the retrieved web page to the user of the handheld device (11).
