First Claim
1. A system for providing Internet-related services in response to a handheld device without requiring the handheld device to itself be Internet-enabled, comprising:
- a client module embedded in the handheld device to enable the handheld device to directly send a selected stored Universal Resource Locator (URL), without encryption, via a local communication link, wherein the URL indicates a desired Internet web page;
a receiver that receives the URL sent from the handheld device via the local communication link;
a web access module coupled to the receiver and to an external Internet via an Internet communication link different from said local communication link to access and retrieve the desired web page from a remote web server via the external Internet; and
a render system being coupled to the web access module and physically separate from said handheld device, to render the retrieved web page in a human discernible format to a user on said render system.
