Installing applications
Your smartphone comes with several
built-in and ready-to-use applications. You
can also install additional applications, such
as business software, games, and more.
The Palm Software Installation CD includes
several bonus software apps, and you can
purchase other third-party Palm OS
®
apps
as well. To learn about applications you can
add to your smartphone, go to
www.palm.com/
treo680gsm.
NOTE The instructions in this section tell
you how to install basic PRC (Palm OS
application) and PDB (Palm OS database)
files on your smartphone. Some Palm OS
software uses an installer or wizard to
guide you through the process. For details,
consult the documentation that came with
the software.
Installing bonus software from the CD
The Palm Software Installation CD includes
several bonus software applications that
you can install on your smartphone. You
can install these applications when you
install the desktop software, or you can
install them later.
1 Insert the Palm Software Installation CD
into the CD drive on your computer.
2 Click Install bonus software.
3 Click the name of the application you
want to install.
4 Click Install (on the right side of the
screen).
5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 to install additional
applications.
6 Synchronize your smartphone with your
computer to install the application(s) on
your smartphone.
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 (for
example, as a ZIP or SIT file), you need to
download it to your computer, expand the
file, and then synchronize to transfer the
expanded file to your smartphone.
