Upgrading? Before you start step 3, read this:
Your new device uses a different file structure from the one on your
current handheld. Because of this, some third-party applications
may not work correctly on your new device. When you synchronize
using your existing username, any third-party applications that may
not work correctly on your device do not install. All of your personal
(PIM) information–calendar events, contacts, tasks, and memos–is
installed to your device.
What about the third-party applications that were not installed?
Check each third-party application’s website for news about an
updated version that works on your new device. Be sure to install
only applications that specifically state they are compatible with
your device. For more information on third-party applications and
the new file structure, go to www.palmOne.com.
