Installing and removing applications
This section explains how to install and remove applications on your
handheld and how to remove Palm™ Desktop software from your
computer.
Installing add-on applications
Your handheld comes with the Date Book, Date Book Plus, Address,
To Do List, Memo Pad, Expense, Calculator, CityTime, and Mail
applications installed and ready to use.
You can also install additional applications on your handheld, such as
games and other software. The Install Handheld Files dialog box
makes it easy to install software on your handheld during a HotSync
®
operation. There are a variety of third-party applications available for
your handheld. To learn more about these applications, go to the web
site: www.handspring.com.
When you download an add-on application from the internet, it is
probably in a compressed format such as a .zip or .sit file. If you have
a decompression utility on your computer, use it to decompress the
.prc and .pdb files inside the compressed file. If you do not have a
decompression utility, search the Internet using phrases like 'zip
decompression' or 'how to unzip'. This will lead you to various third-
party utilities that you can use to decompress any kind of compressed
or downloaded file--not just add-ons for your handheld. After you
install the utility, you are ready to decompress the add-on application
files that you downloaded.
