How to add audio or video to your Blackberry
The audio and video files you download from iPREPpress are zipped files that end
in extension ".zip". For example, the file may be named
something like "1984 zip file.zip ."
On PCs, you can usually double click on the
zipped folder and then extract and save the files to your computer hard
drive. If not, use a program like WinZip or any other available
unzip programs. Remember where you save
these files on your hard disk.
