Adding or removing programs

Programs added to your device at the factory are stored in ROM

(Read-Only Memory). You cannot remove this software, and you will

never accidentally lose ROM contents. ROM programs can be updated

using installation programs with a *.xip extension. All other programs

and data files added to your device after factory installation are

stored in RAM (Random Access Memory).

You can install any program created for your device, as long as it has

enough memory. The place to find software for your device is on the

Pocket PC web site (http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc).
