Installing Applications

Your device comes with several built-in and ready-to-use applications. You can also install free bonus software, such as business software, games, and more. You can install the bonus software wirelessly, using the My Treo application on your device. You can also download the bonus software from www.palm.com/mypalm/755psprint-bonus to your computer and then synchronize to install it on your device. You can use similar methods to purchase and install other third-party Palm OS® applications as well.

Installing Bonus Software From My Treo on Your Device

My Treo lets you download and install bonus software that you can use on your device. If the bonus software has both a desktop component in addition to a device component, you need to download the software to your computer first. See “Installing Bonus Software From My Palm on Your Computer” on page 69 for details.

1.Press Applications and select My Treo .

2.Select the Bonus tab.

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

4.Repeat step 3 to install additional applications.

Installing applications from the Internet

You can use the Web browser on your smart device 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 smart device. If a file is compressed (ZIP or SIT), you need to download it to your computer and expand the file before installing it on your smart device.

Note:

The instructions in this section tell you how to install basic PRC (Palm OS application) and PDB (Palm OS database) files on your smart device. 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.
