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.
