Installing applications from a computer
When you download an application to your computer, it is probably in a
compressed format such as a ZIP or SIT file. If the file is compressed,
you need to use a decompression utility on your computer, such as
WinZip or Allume Stuffit Expander, before you install the application on
your smartphone.
