Installing and removing applications
This section explains how to install and remove applications on your handheld or 
on an expansion card, and how to remove Palm Desktop software from your 
computer.
Installing add-on applications
Your handheld comes with applications installed and ready to use, but you can 
also install additional applications, such as games and other software, on your 
handheld or on a card that is seated in the expansion card slot. Applications or 
games that you install on your handheld reside in RAM memory, and you can 
delete them at any time.
The Install Tool makes it easy to install software during a HotSync operation. There 
are a variety of third-party applications available for your handheld. To learn more 
about these applications, go to the web site:
 www.palm.com.
NOTEPalm works with developers of third-party add-on applications to ensure the 
compatibility of these applications with your new Palm handheld. Some third-party 
applications, however, may not have been upgraded to be compatible with your new 
Palm handheld. 
If you suspect that a third-party application is adversely affecting the operation of 
your handheld, contact the developer of the application. In addition, Palm, Inc. has 
information about some applications compatibility with your handheld. To find this 
information, do one of the following:
