What you're seeing is a disk image...info on how to install programs packaged this way can be found here.
Basically, for many programs, all you have to do to install is drag the item in the mounted disk (the "flat iPod") to your Applications folder. You can then "eject" the mounted disk and delete the .dmg file.
