TIP
When you press an application button on the front panel, you have instant
access to the selected application. You don’t even need to turn on your handheld first.

Launcher displays the current time, battery level, and application category.
To open an application on your handheld:
1.
Tap the Applications icon .

Tap the icon of the application that you want to open. If you have many
applications installed on your handheld, tap the scroll bar to see all of your

first letter of its name. The Applications Launcher scrolls to the first application
with a name that begins with that letter. You can also assign application icons
to different categories. See “Categorizing applications” in Chapter 3.
NOTE
You can also use applications on expansion cards. See “Opening
expansion card applications” in Chapter 4.
