Installing applications from the Internet

You can use the web browser on your smartphone to install Palm OS files (PRC or PDB) directly
from the Internet. When you download a PRC or PDB file, it is automatically installed on your
smartphone. If a file is compressed (ZIP or SIT), you need to download it to your computer and
expand the file before installing it on your smartphone.

1. Open the web browser (see “Viewing a web page” on page 50).

2. Go to the page that contains the link to the application you want to download.

3. Press Left or Right to highlight the link to the file, and then press Center

to initiate

the download process.

4. Follow the onscreen instructions to accept and install the application.
