NOTE If you are setting up your first Palm OS® device, skip ahead to Installing the desktop synchronization software.

You can transfer all compatible applications and information from your previous Palm OS device—whether it’s a handheld or a Treo— to your new Treo 680, so long as the space taken up by all the info you want to transfer is 64MB or less. This includes your calendar events, contacts, memos, and tasks, as well as your application settings and any compatible third-party applications and files.

When you install the desktop software from the Palm Software Installation CD, some third-party applications may be quarantined because they are not compatible with the Palm OS software
