Pumatech's Browse-it version 3.1 Web rendering/browsing software for handheld devices delivers support for the Pocket PC handheld platform, complementing the Palm OS compatibility offered in previous versions of the product. With Browse-it 3.1, enterprises will be able to increase the productivity and efficiency of employees by ensuring they have online and offline access to the most current view of Web-centric business information, regardless of location or handheld device. Users of Pocket PC handhelds will now be able to enjoy the extensive feature set offered by Browse-it, including 16-bit color graphics, offline form submission, bookmarks, and Browse-it SnapShots for viewing content when offline.

Whether connected to a wireline or wireless modem, or used in offline mode, Browse-it gives handheld device users full and immediate access to information and applications on the Web. Browse-it was designed with the user experience in mind and employs the look and feel of desktop browsers, offering features such as bookmarks, the ability to track browser history, and support for cookies, standard graphic formats, encryption for security, compressed archives, and downloading and installation of native programs and data.

Browse-it also provides a SnapShot feature that enables users to capture Web content for viewing offline when wireless or wireline Web access is unavailable. Offline forms capability permits users to interact with Web-based forms while disconnected from the enterprise network. Users can enter field-generated data or queries that are submitted to the corporate server when a connection becomes available.
