the master list of bookmarks. Some may be “loose,” and many more are probably
organized into folders, or even folders within folders. Tapping a folder
shows you what’s inside, and tapping a bookmark immediately begins opening
the corresponding Web site.
Creating New Bookmarks
You can add new bookmarks right on the phone. Any work you do here is
copied back to your computer the next time you sync the two machines.
When you find a Web page you might like to visit again, tap the ± button
(upper-left of the screen). The Add Bookmark screen appears. You have two
tasks here:
•

Type a better name. In the top box, you can type a shorter or clearer
name for the page than the one it comes with. Instead of “Bass, Trout, &
Tackle—the Web’s Premiere Resource for the Avid Outdoorsman,” you can
just call it “Fish site.”
The box below this one identifies the underlying URL, which is totally
independent from what you’ve called your bookmark. You can’t edit this
one.
Specify where to file this bookmark. If you tap the button that says
Bookmarks >, you open Safari’s hierarchical list of bookmark folders,
which organize your bookmarked sites. Tap the folder where you want to
file the new bookmark, so you’ll know where to find it later.
Here’s a site worth bookmarking: http://google.com/gwt/n. it gives you a barebones,
superfast version of the Web, provided by google for the benefit of people
on slow connections (like eDge). You can even opt to hide graphics for even more
speed. Yeah, the iPhone’s browser is glorious and all—but sometimes you’d rather
have fast than pretty.
