Abstract
A hand-held computer device with integral web page transcoding. A processor, forming a part of the handheld computer has a display coupled to the processor forming a part of the handheld computer, with the display having limited resolution of M×N pixels. A browser program running on the processor facilitates retrieving and viewing of a web page having size greater than M×N on the display. This is accomplished in a browser having an associated browser plug-in that transcodes the web page to a format adapted to the display. The transcoding is carried out by, among other things, generating a menu of frames from the web page to permit a user to select a desired frame for display by selecting frame titles as menu selections and compressing an image to a size suitable for display on the M×N resolution display.
