Installing applications from a computer
BEFORE YOU BEGIN To install an app
from your computer to your Treo
smartphone, you must first install
Palm Desktop software on your computer
(see Installing the desktop synchronization
software).
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 Allume Stuffit Expander,
before you install the application on your
smartphone.
1 Windows: Drag and drop
the file(s) onto the Palm
Quick Install icon on the
Windows desktop.
Mac: Drag and drop the file(s) onto the
Send To Device droplet in the Palm
folder.
2 Select your device name from the User
list, and then click OK.
3 Synchronize your smartphone with your
computer to install the application(s) on
your Treo smartphone.
Getting help with third-party applications
