256 Section 6A: Managing Files and Applications
Installing Applications From the Internet
You can use the Web browser on your device to install Palm OS files (PRC or PDB)
directly from the Internet. When you wirelessly download a PRC or PDB file, it is
automatically installed on your device. If a file is compressed (ZIP or SIT files), you
need to download it to your computer and expand the file before installing it on
your device.
1. Open the Web browser (see “Viewing a Web Page” on page 160).
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.
Installing Applications From a Computer
To install an application from a computer, you must first install Palm
®
Desktop
software from the Palm Software Installation CD that came with your Treo 700
P
smart device.
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 device.
