3rd party apps on P800 / 900 through mac

3 replies · 3,043 views · Started 02 December 2003

hi, i'm using my P900 with a powerbook running mac 10.3 panther. i sync my calendar and contacts via bluetooth over iSync, and it works fine.

my question for P800/900 users is this: i would like to install 3rd party apps (tracker, agendus, worldmate, and quickoffice, to be exact), and have read from the handango site i need a PC running the SE software to do so. have any of you successfully done so on a mac? if so, what is the process?

additionally, if any of you have used the above 3rd party apps and have any feedback or comments, that would be most helpful as well

many thanks in advance

simply send the .sis file via bluetooth to your p900, accept the delivered file and install fom transfer inbox.

I love Worldmate, I use tracker and it's great, but i'm waiting for the new version of Handy day, as for quickoffice I'll probably get it once I upgrade to the P900

You can also put Bluetooth File Exchange in your dock. You can then drop files on to it to send them to the phone.

I have also found that if iSync can't find the phone, sending an arbitrary file will always fix the problem.

cheers
