Installing Applications
Your Treo 650 comes with several applications built-in and ready to use. You can
also install any of the bonus software included on the Software Installation CD as
well as more than 16,000 third-party Palm OS® applications for use on your
Treo 650, such as business software, games, and other applications.
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 Unstuffit, before
you install applications on your Treo.
These instructions tell you how to install basic .prc (Palm OS application) and .pdb
(Palm OS database) files onto your Treo. Some Palm OS software uses an
automatic installer or wizard to guide you through the process. Consult the
documentation that came with the software for details about how to install a
particular piece of software. Treo 650 is not compatible with .pqa files.
Before you can install an application from your computer to your Treo 650, you
need to install Palm™ Quick Install on your computer (see “Installing the
Synchronization Software on Your Computer” on page 24).
