Abstract

A method for improving wireless access to an information database (300), for example the Internet, for a wireless communication unit. The method (300) includes the step of establishing a wireless connection from the wireless communication unit to the information database (310). One or more priority pages of information are retrieved automatically (320) from the information database by the wireless communication unit and stored in an area of memory of the wireless communication unit for subsequent use. The one or more priority pages are based at least in part on a prior behaviour of the wireless communication unit accessing the information database or defined by a user of the wireless communication unit. This provides the advantage that the priority pages are autonomously retrieved and stored in memory, such that when the user subsequently requests one of these pages, the delay experienced by the user between requesting the page and the page being displayed is minimal. This improves the user's WEB/WAP experience, and encourages the user to make more use of the WEB/WAP functionality of the wireless communications unit.
