anyone know how/where to download PDA games from your PDA. i downloaded a couple but they were .JAR .JAD files and i think i need .PRC or .PDB files (manual). that was from [www.3gforfree.com](http://www.3gforfree.com)

suprisingly [palm.com](http://palm.com) is a really crappy website to view on a PDA :down:

any help would be cool

those were all zip files, will those sites work from my phone? my phone is from the company and came set up. no hot syncing available so i have to download it straight onto the phone. :dunno:

what extension does the file need. i can’t open .jad or .jar and that’s all i’ve found.

go to [palm.com](http://palm.com) and download ther lastest palm desktop software. they have a palm quick install program included that you just drag and drop the palm files into and it installs them via hotsync.

here is a GREAT site for palm programs:

[http://projectblackberry.com/forum/](http://projectblackberry.com/forum/)

you need to register and make at least 1 post so they dont mark your account as inactive after 5 days and remove it.

ive downloaded a ton of apps from it so far
