CHAPTER 25 Installing and Removing Applications
Installing other applications and files
You can also install applications and files on your handheld that did not come on the CD. For any
files that you install, there must be an application on your handheld that can read these files. For
example, you can view photos only if you have an application such as palmOne™ Media on your
handheld.
Here are the types of files you can install on your handheld:
• Applications designed for Palm OS ® handhelds, including PRC and PDB
• Image files, including BMP, JPEG, and TIF (uncompressed), GIF for use with palmOne Media
• Video files, including MPEG-1 and ASF (MPEG-4) for use with palmOne Media
• MP3 and RealAudio audio files (these files are installed only on the expansion card) for use with
RealOne Mobile Player
• Microsoft Office files, such as Word and Excel documents, for use with Documents To Go
Installing applications and files on a Windows computer
If you installed Palm ® Desktop software, you automatically have Palm ® Quick Install on your
Windows computer. This tool makes it easy to install applications and files when you synchronize.
You can install applications and files by dragging and dropping onto the Palm Quick Install icon, or
by using the commands in the Palm Quick Install window.
