Installing Other Third-Party Applications From a Computer
To install other third-party applications from a computer, you must first install
Palm Desktop software from the Palm Software Installation CD that came with your device.
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 device.
1. On a Windows computer, select Start > Programs > Palm > Install Tool, and then select
Add to browse to the application you want to add.
On a Mac computer, drag and drop the application file(s) onto the Send To Handheld
droplet in the Palm folder.
2. Select your device name from the User list, and then click OK.
3. Synchronize your device with your computer to install the application(s) on your
device.
