Installing applications
Your Centro comes with several built-in and
ready-to-use applications. You can also
install additional applications, such as
business software, games, and more. The
Getting Started CD includes several bonus
software apps, and you can purchase other
third-party Palm OS
® by ACCESS apps as
well. To learn about applications you can
add to your Centro, go to go.palm.com/
centro-att/.
NOTE
The instructions in this section tell
you how to install basic PRC (Palm OS
application) and PDB (Palm OS database)
files on your Centro. 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 My Centro
on your device
My Centro lets you download and install
software that you can use on your Centro.
If the software has a desktop component
in addition to a Centro component, you
need to download the software to your
computer first. See Installing bonus
software from My Palm on your computer
for info on installing software that includes
a desktop component.
1 Press Applications and select
My Centro .
2 Select the Bonus tab.
3 Select the Install link below the name
of the application you want to install.
Repeat step 3 to install additional
applications.
Installing applications from the Internet
You can use the web browser on your
Centro 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 Centro. 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 Centro.
NOTE
Make sure the application you
download is compatible with your device.
