How to access the PDA version from your wireless device?

If your handheld device has wireless internet access, simply point your web browser to this URL:

     http://timefordvd.com/pda

AvantGoHere's how you can access the PDA version of TimeForDVD.com using your PDA or handheld device.

  1. First, you should have an AvantGo.com account.  AvantGo is the mini web browser application for PDAs.  You can create your own free account, if you don't already have one, with 2 MB of web clipping space.  Sign up here.  Then install any needed software on your PC.  See AvantGo for instructions on how to install the PC software.

  2. Next, login using your username and password.

  3. Click on the My Account tab on the gray column on the right side of screen.

  4. Under the Subscriptions category, click on the Create a custom channel link.

  5. Enter the following:

    Title: TimeForDVD.com
    Location: http://timefordvd.com/pda 
    Maximum Channel Size: 200(recommended)
    Link Depth: 3  (recommended)
    Include Images: select Yes  (recommended)
    Follow Off-Site Links: select No
    Refresh this channel: select once daily at the time of your choice  (recommended)

  6. Click on the Save Channel button when you're done.

  7. Hot synch your PDA with your computer.

  8. Turn on your PDA and select AvantGo from the main menu.

  9. Scroll down and select TimeForDVD.com content.

  10. Navigate by clicking on the underlined hypertext links (as you would in any PC-based web browser).  The PDA content should look just like this.

That's all there is.  Enjoy!

We don't have everything that's on our web site in the PDA version, because of the PDA's limited on-board memory.  The PDA version includes content designed to help the everyday consumer shop intelligently for a DVD player and other home theater components with tutorials, shopping guides, and frequently asked questions (FAQs).  It is also designed for the casual DVD collector and enthusiasts to help them stay on top of the latest DVD-Video releases and upcoming releases.  We also feature some of our latest DVD-Video movie reviews of the most popular titles to help you select which DVDs to rent or buy.

Sometimes, we will provide an abridged version of our web site's feature article and inform our PDA users that they can find additional information on the web site.

We keep the feature articles such as tutorials, hardware buying guides, FAQs, and glossary synchronized with our web site, as we update them.  The upcoming DVD release lists are usually updated once a week, typically on Tuesday mornings.  Select DVD-Video movie reviews will be posted on the PDA version on the same day as our posting on the web site.
