The iKnapsack Main Screen

Remember that favorite knapsack from your childhood, the one you took wherever you went? It held everything in the world that was important to you—pens, books, toys, and candy—and anything you managed to pick up along the way. Well, time's passed and you've migrated from the park playground to the wild, wild Web. What are you using to carry data you pick up on the Internet today?

Introducing iKnapsack™, the right way to take data with you—on the Internet and your Palm™ organizer. iKnapsack offers powerful features for your handheld for Internet access management and data collection.

From the Web to your Palm: Interactive and Enriched Content

At the heart of iKnapsack is the exciting and powerful iKnapsack Plug-in Technology. Think of iKnapsack Plug-ins as tiny applications that communicate with content on the Internet and with your Palm™ applications. With iKnapsack Plug-ins, you can send interactive and enriched content—addresses, dates, or even musical notes—straight from a web page to your organizer.

Imagine doing a search for a person on the Web and having her contact information added straight to your Address Book. Or envision ordering a product online from your handheld and having the option of adding that purchase directly to your Expense app. This and much more is possible with iKnapsack and iKnapsack Plug-ins! iKnapsack comes with exciting plug-ins that make it easy to add addresses, dates, to do items, memos, and expenses right into your handheld from web-based content.

iKnapsack also lets you set your default web browser, email client, and Web Clipping Application viewer on your Palm™ organizer. Third-party applications can then interface with iKnapsack to handle URL, email, and Web Clipping requests.
