1.Windows: Drag and drop the file(s) onto the Palm Quick

Install icon on the Windows desktop.

Mac: Drag and drop the file(s) onto the Send To Device droplet in the Palm folder.

2.Select your device name from the User list, and then click OK.

3.Synchronize your smartphone with your computer to install the application(s) on your Treo smartphone.
