Installing Applications - palmOne Vision Smart Device Treo 650 User Manual

Installing Applications

Your Treo comes with several applications built-in and ready to use. You can also
install any of the bonus software included on the Software Installation CD as well
as more than 16,000 third-party Palm OS
as business software, games, and other applications.
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 applications on your Treo.
These instructions tell you how to install basic .prc (Palm OS application) and .pdb
(Palm OS database) files onto your Treo. Some Palm OS software uses an automatic
installer or wizard to guide you through the process. Consult the documentation
that came with the software for details about how to install a particular piece of
software. Treo is not compatible with .pqa files.
Before you can install an application from your computer to your Treo, you need
to install palmOne™ Quick Install on your computer (see "Installing the
Synchronization Software on Your Computer" on page 23).
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
Treo. Remember: Palm OS applications have .prc or .pdb at the end of their
filenames.
1. Open the Web browser (see "Browsing the Web" on page 201).
