You haven't put any applications (PRC files) on the card in that case, which
is what you should expect unless you are aware of previous installations.
To install software (if you use a Mac/Windows machine) you can drag PRC
files from your filestore to the Palm Installation Tool. By dragging PRC
files into the region down the bottom which corresponds to the External
Card, you add applications to the card currently inserted (the 1 GB card
you have).
If you use an Open Source OGG Player, see their documentation to find out
how to send files to Palm memory. There are various ways in which you can
do this. In principle and under normal circumstances, the handheld will
only accept PRC and PDB files. The software that comes with the (free-ish)
Real Player allows you to send MP3 files to your memory, but it puts them
under /Audio rather than /Launcher which is where programs that you see and
use reside. To see the entire file structure and not just the (abstract)
contents of /Launcher, use FileZ.
Hope it helps, let me know if it doesn't,
Roy
