Abstract
A method and system for increasing ease-of-use and bandwidth utilization in a wireless device capable of accessing a communication network is disclosed.

In response, the wireless device receives identifiers from the server of the web sites most likely to be requested by a user of the wireless device in that environment. In a further aspect of the present invention, the wireless device may also pre-fetch contents from the identified web sites in times when bandwidth is not in use to further speed responsiveness of the device.
