TIP Be sure that any third-party applications you install are compatible with the
Palm ® webOS™ platform. Applications written for earlier Palm smartphones using
the operating system or Windows Mobile are not compatible with your Pre Plus
phone. If you can try a free version of the software before purchasing it, you can
test it first to make sure it works properly. In App Catalog, you can purchase the
Classic application from MotionApps to run Palm OS applications on your Pre Plus
phone.
