Installing applications | Handspring 600 manual

On a Windows computer, you can also access the Install Tool dialog by selecting Install Tool under Handspring on the Start menu or from the Programs folder.

Installing applications

Your Treo comes with several applications built-in and ready to use. You can also install third-party Palm OS applications, such as business software, games, and more. To learn more, go to www.handspring.com/software.

When you download an application to your computer, it is probably in a compressed format such as a .zip or .sit ﬁle. If the ﬁle is compressed, you need to use a decompression utility on your computer, before you install applications on your Treo.

These instructions tell you how to install basic .prc (Palm OS application) and .pdb (Palm OS database) ﬁles onto your Treo. Some Palm OS software uses an installer or wizard to guide you through the process. Consult the documentation that came with the software for details.

Installing applications from the Internet

You can install Palm OS applications directly from the Internet, using the Blazer web browser. When you download an application, it automatically installs on your Treo. Remember: Palm OS applications have .prc or .pdb at the end of their ﬁle names.

1.Launch the Blazer web browser (see page 53).

2.Go to the page that contains the link to the application you want to download.

3.Press Left or Right to highlight the link to the ﬁle, then press Center to initiate the download process.
