Installing applications
Your Treo™ 650 smartphone comes with several built-in and ready to use applications.
You can also install any of the bonus software included on the Software Installation
CD as well as other third-party Palm OS
®
applications, such as business software,
games, and more. To learn more, go to www.palmOne.com/software.
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 Unstuffit, before you
install the applications on your smartphone.
These instructions tell you how to install basic PRC (Palm OS application) and
PDB (Palm OS database) files onto your smartphone. Some Palm OS software uses
an installer or wizard to guide you through the process. Consult the documentation
that came with the software for details.
Installing applications from the Internet
You can install Palm OS applications directly from the Internet, using the Web browser.
When you download an application, it automatically installs on your smartphone.
Remember: Palm OS applications have PRC or PDB at the end of their file names.
