Installing and removing applications
This section explains how to install and remove applications on your
handheld and how to remove Palm™ Desktop organizer software
from your computer.
Installing add-on applications
Your handheld comes with the Date Book, Address Book, To Do List,
Memo Pad, Expense, Calculator, and Mail applications installed and
ready to use.
Your handheld also contains several built-in web clipping
applications; so after you activate the wireless communication service,
you have immediate access to Internet information.
The CD-ROM containing Palm Desktop software also contains many
more web clipping applications. You can transfer these to your
computer at the same time that you install the software. These web
clipping applications are stored in the Add-on folder, and you can add
them to your handheld using the Install Tool.
You can also install additional applications on your handheld, such as
games and other software, including more web clipping applications.
Many third-party applications are available for your handheld. The
web site
http://www.palm.net has more information about these
applications.
Note: Any game or application that you install on your handheld
resides in RAM memory; you can delete it at any time. See
“Removing applications” later in this chapter for more
information.
With the Install Tool and HotSync
®
technology, you can easily install
software on your handheld.
To install add-on software on your handheld:
1. Using your desktop computer, copy or download the application
you want to install into the Add-on folder in your Palm Desktop
directory.
Note: If the software you download is compressed, you need to
decompress it into this folder. If you prefer to place the
application into another folder, you need to navigate to
that folder before you complete step 5.
2. Double-click the Palm Desktop icon on your desktop.
