Lets you do a manual update, too, giving you the option to choose the time and date of update and when you need to update the Web pages or Web packs that you have downloaded. Lets you continue the updates from where you left off if you were in a hurry and had to temporaily disconnect and reconnect later. Lets you reconnect your handheld device to your desktop or laptop to get the necessary updates for the Web pages that are on your mobile device.
