Palm Zire 72 manual Installing other applications and files

CHAPTER 25 Installing and Removing Applications

Did You Know?

Most handheld application files have the extension PRC or PDB.

Installing other applications and files

You can also install applications and files on your handheld that did not come on the CD. For any files that you install, there must be an application on your handheld that can read these files. For example, you can view photos only if you have an application such as palmOne™ Media on your handheld.

Here are the types of files you can install on your handheld:

•Applications designed for Palm OS® handhelds, including PRC and PDB

•Image files, including BMP, JPEG, and TIF (uncompressed), GIF for use with palmOne Media

•Video files, including MPEG-1 and ASF (MPEG-4) for use with palmOne Media

•MP3 and RealAudio audio files (these files are installed only on the expansion card) for use with RealOne Mobile Player

•Microsoft Office files, such as Word and Excel documents, for use with Documents To Go

Installing applications and files on a Windows computer

If you installed Palm® Desktop software, you automatically have Palm® Quick Install on your Windows computer. This tool makes it easy to install applications and files when you synchronize.

You can install applications and files by dragging and dropping onto the Palm Quick Install icon, or by using the commands in the Palm Quick Install window.
