Using the Wireless Application Suite
This chapter provides information on how to use the applications and features that are specific 
to wireless data communication. The Wireless Application Suite includes the Blazer web browser, 
Palm SMS text messaging, and One-Touch Mail™ by JP Mobile e-mail application. 
To use the Wireless Application Suite, you must have the following:
nA data-enabled mobile phone that is equipped with an IR port or a special cable that enables 
you to connects your mobile phone to your handheld.
nA wireless service provider that supports data services and it must be part of your service 
package (some wireless service providers may require you to sign up for data services 
separately). 
nAn account established with an ISP (Internet Service Provider). Many wireless service 
providers also provide ISP services. If ISP information is available from your wireless service 
provider when you configure your wireless communication settings with the Handspring CD-
ROM, the installation program sets up your handheld for use with that provider.
To install the Wireless Application Suite:
1. Insert the Handspring CD into the CD-ROM drive on your computer.
2. Complete step 1 of the installation process to install the synchronization software.
3. Proceed to step 2 of the installation process to install the Wireless Application Suite.

Blazer Web Browser
If you can’t hold the world in the palm of your hand, at least you can hold the World Wide Web 
when you use Blazer to browse the Internet on your handheld’s screen.
In Blazer, you can do the following:
nAccess the World Wide Web and display Internet content.
nCreate up to 100 bookmarks for quick and convenient access to your favorite web sites.
nNavigate between web pages with familiar toolbar icons. 
To use Blazer, you must subscribe to data services from your wireless service provider, and you 
must have an account established with an ISP (Internet Service Provider). Many wireless service 
providers also provide ISP services. If ISP information is available from your wireless service 
provider when you configure your wireless communication settings with the Handspring CD-
ROM, the installation program will set up Blazer for use with that provider.
Note: If you already installed the desktop software from the Handspring CD-ROM but didn’t 
configure the wireless communication settings, select Configure Wireless Suite under 
Handspring (or Palm) on the Windows Start menu, and follow the instructions on the 
screen.
