Installing and removing applications
This section explains how to install and remove applications on your
organizer and how to remove Palm™ Desktop organizer software
from your computer.
Installing add-on applications
Your organizer comes with the Date Book, Address Book, To Do List,
Memo Pad, Expense, Calculator, and Mail applications installed and
ready to use.
Your organizer also contains several built-in query applications; so
after you activate the wireless communication service, you have
immediate access to Internet information.
The CD-ROM containing Palm Desktop software also contains many
more query applications. You can transfer these to your computer at
the same time that you install the software. These query applications
are stored in the Add-on folder, and you can add them to your
organizer using the Install Tool.
You can also install additional applications on your organizer, such as
games and other software, including more query applications. Many
third-party applications are available for your organizer. The web site
http://www.palm.net has more information about these
applications.
Note: Any game or application that you install on your organizer
resides in RAM memory; you can delete it at any time. See
“Removing applications” later in this chapter for more
information.
With the Install Tool and HotSync ® technology, you can easily install
software on your organizer.
To install add-on software on your organizer:
1. Using your desktop computer, copy or download the application
you want to install into the Add-on folder in your Palm Desktop
directory.
Note: If the software you download is compressed, you need to
decompress it into this folder. If you prefer to place the
application into another folder, you need to navigate to
that folder before you complete step 5.
2. Double-click the Palm Desktop icon on your desktop.
