Applications
The organizer comes with several applications already installed. You can
also add other applications to your phone by a simple installation
procedure. The Install Tool is used in conjunction with the HotSync
application to install applications to your phone.
Note: All applications that you install reside in RAM. Therefore, there is a
limited number of applications that can be installed based on the amount
of free RAM. Any of the applications can be deleted to free up the amount
of available RAM.
Note: The Install Tool can also be selected to perform the installation of
new applications from the Palm Desktop program group.
