I've got a lovely HTC S710 which runs Windows Mobile 6. Very impressed with
it but struggling a bit with the user interface. It doesn't have a stylus or
touch screen so navigation is by cursor. I'm trying to download an MP3
podcast from www.silicon.com. When I click on the download link, an alert
pops up saying:

Please save the file by right clicking and selecting the "Save Target As"
option or "Save Link As" as option.

How do you right-click on a Windows Mobile device!!

Thanks, Rob.

I don't have an actual answer. But I think you should know that
Windows Mobile includes devices with touch screens (were called Pocket
PCs, but called "Classic" and "Professional" as of WM 6). Your HTC
S710 is a Windows Mobile Standard device, which was called a
Smarpthone (capital S) before WM 6.

For a device with a touch screen and a stylus, the answer is to hold
the stylus down until the popup menu appears. Clearly not the answer
for your device.

(I'm using the names Microsoft promotes; don't ask me to defend them.)

So, you need to download a podcast? Try just traversing the focus to it
(with the D-pad) and pressing Action in your fav browser (IEM, Opera Mobile,
Opera Mini).

Unfortunately, currently, it's only Netfront 3.4 that has direct "Save
Target As" features.

Also see my blog, which has EXTENSIVE coverage of EVERYTHING Smartphone Web
browsing-related.

Let me know if you have other q's.
