Functionality

SCREEN3 functioned by downloading data and displaying it on the phone while idle. After the user configured which feeds or channels are of interest, feed updates were continuously and automatically pushed to the handset via background data transfer. While viewing the small images and accompanying headlines ("bites") which scroll by on the screen, users can choose to view a snippet of the actual story ("the snack"). Users then are taken to a condensed summary version of the story or headline. At this point, if the story is deemed sufficiently interesting, users can opt to view the full story ("the meal"), causing the web browser to be launched to retrieve the appropriate web page. Modern

Availability

SCREEN3 became available in Motorola products starting with phones shipping near the end of 2005. The technology was not available on all handsets, nor was it supported by all wireless carriers. SCREEN3 required the user to maintain a data plan through their wireless carrier, and also required subscription fees to access certain data feeds.
