Using Applications
MidasPAD comes with many default Microsoft File
Viewers and other applications such as Internet Explorer.
If you have used Microsoft Windows previously, then
using any of the Microsoft applications should be very
similar. Just double-tap on the icon of the application you
want to run.
To run any program, tap Start > Programs and
choose the program you want to run.
Common Microsoft Internet applications include:
• Internet Explorer- view Web sites
• Windows CE Messenger- chat with friends
If you want to connect the Internet to view Web sites or
read mail, you need to plug in either a GPRS card, or hook
up a modem via the RS 232 port.
Microsoft File Viewers
MidasPAD also includes a number of Microsoft File
Viewers. Microsoft File Viewers let you view actual
Microsoft Office files, but you can’t modify or update them
(read-only). So for example, if you know you are going to
be on a bus for a long time you could save an eBook (PDF
file) on a memory card and view it with MidasPAD during
the bus trip.
Common Microsoft File Viewers include:
• Microsoft Excel Viewer
• Microsoft Image Viewer
• Microsoft PDF Viewer
