The desktop software lets you use your computer to view, enter, and manage info for many of the applications on your handheld. Make sure you install the desktop software so that you can back up and save the info on your handheld onto your computer.

The additional handheld software lets you do more things with your handheld. When you set up your handheld you may install some (or all) of these applications. You can install any of the applications at any time after you set up your handheld as well.

The software installation CD includes titles such as the following:
