>From the Package Installer FAQ:
Q: How does an end user get Package Installer?
A: Ideally, an end user should never need to explicitly get the Package 
Installer. When using our provided web templates, the user of a wireless Palm 
OS device will automatically be prompted to download and install the Package 
Installer if they do not have it, or if they have an older version.

How this works from the Deployment_Guide.pdf:
1. (On the device) Display a web page that shows a "Checking to see if your 
handheld is set up properly"
message and try to run PIC with a special PalmCall command that checks the 
version.
2. If the customer has a current version of PIC (Palmsource Installer Client) 
installed, PIC will redirect the browser to
download the appropriate PSI file based upon the device's capabilities.
3. If the customer has an older version of PIC installed, they will be 
presented with an "Install
Newer PIC" link.
4. If the customer does not have PIC installed, the command will fail. After 10 
seconds, the
JavaScript on the page will automatically redirect the user to the "Install 
PIC" page.
5. In both case 3 and 4, the user will install PIC. After it is installed, PIC 
will relaunch the
browser and again attempt to download the optimized file.

Subject: OTA on Treo600/650

Hi,
Palm announced some time ago their product OTA Over The Air to enable handhelds 
update applications and databases over the internet.
This product consists on several components, in the PDA and in the server.
They promised the PDA component to be bult in the rom.
The question I have is how to know if this functionallity is included in the 
Handspring Treo 600 or 650

Regards
Oscar
