Installing applications

Your Centro comes with several built-in and ready-to-use applications. You can also install additional applications, such as business software, games, and more. The Getting Started CD includes several bonus software apps, and you can purchase other third-party Palm OS® by ACCESS apps as well. To learn about applications you can add to your Centro, go to go.palm.com/ centro-att/.

NOTE The instructions in this section tell you how to install basic PRC (Palm OS application) and PDB (Palm OS database) files on your Centro. Some Palm OS software uses an installer or wizard to guide you through the process. For details, consult the documentation that came with the software.

Installing bonus software from My Centro on your device

My Centro lets you download and install software that you can use on your Centro. If the software has a desktop component in addition to a Centro component, you

need to download the software to your computer first. See Installing bonus software from My Palm on your computer for info on installing software that includes a desktop component.

1Press Applications and select

My Centro .

2Select the Bonus tab.

3Select the Install link below the name of the application you want to install.

Repeat step 3 to install additional applications.

Installing applications from the Internet

You can use the web browser on your Centro to install Palm OS files (PRC or PDB) directly from the Internet. When you download a PRC or PDB file, it is automatically installed on your Centro. If a file is compressed (for example, as a ZIP or SIT file), you need to download it to your computer, expand the file, and then synchronize to transfer the expanded file to your Centro.

NOTE Make sure the application you download is compatible with your device.
