 Wassdat
(What's that?) is a new type of utility that enables you to search
for internet-based information quickly and easily from your Palm
OS device. It is primarily useful to devices such as the Treo 600
and Tungsten C that have a dedicated wireless link available at
any time.
However it will work equally as well on
devices that use other types of connectivity such as Bluetooth to
a LAN-access point, or a Bluetooth-enabled phone.
There are a number of ways in which you can
use Wassdat, and they are as follows:
-
1)
Select some existing text on your device and invoke the
Wassdat menu (through either the Auto menu option, or a key
press), then select which site you want to search
-
2)
Use the Create Site Icon option is Wassdat to create a new
Launcher icon which when tapped will allow you to enter a
search term and select the desired site to search
-
3)
Use the Augment System Find option - which overrides the
standard Palm OS Find dialog with a version that contains a
popup list of sites. You can still access the normal Find
operation by simply tapping the Local Find button.
-
4)
Finally, use the Command Bar option to access the augmented
Find facility - handy if you don't want to replace the system
Find option
-
5)
Use the included Findat application to invoke the augmented
Find facility - this application is provided so you can assign
a hard button to this app, or alternatively use a third-party
launcher such as TealLaunch etc.
