Installing Applications From the Internet
You can use the Web browser on your smart device 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 smart device. If a file is compressed (ZIP or SIT), you need to download it to
your computer and expand the file before installing it on your smart device.
1. Open the Web browser (see “Viewing a Web Page” on page 106).
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 Bonus Software From My Palm on Your Computer
Some bonus software applications require the installation of a desktop component. To
install these applications, you must first install Palm® Desktop software from the Palm
Software Installation CD that came with your device, and then download the applications
to your computer.
1. On your computer, go to go.palm.com/centro-sprint/
.
2. Follow the onscreen instructions to download the applications you want to install.
3. Synchronize your device with your computer to install the application(s) on your
device.
Note:
The instructions in this section tell you how to install basic PRC (Palm
OS application) and PDB (Palm OS database) files on your smart device.
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.
