Installing and removing applications

This section explains how to install and remove applications on your communicator and how to
remove Palm™ Desktop software from your computer.

Installing add-on applications

Your communicator comes with the PhoneBook, Date Book Plus, Blazer (or another web browser
installed by your wireless service provider), SMS Messaging, To Do List, Memo Pad, Calculator,
CityTime, SIM Book, and SIM Services applications installed and ready to use. The Handspring
CD-ROM also includes the Expense application that automatically installs during the first
HotSync operation and e-mail applications that you can manually install from the CD-ROM.
You can also install additional applications on your communicator, such as business applications,
games, and other software. The Install Handheld Files dialog box makes it easy to install software
on your communicator during a HotSync
available for devices that use Palm OS software. 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 communicator. After you install the utility, you are ready
to decompress the add-on application files that you downloaded.
Note: Any applications that you install on your communicator resides in RAM memory; you can
delete them at any time.
