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’ll never accidentally
lose ROM contents. ROM programs can be updated using special
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 your device
has enough memory. The most popular place to find software for your
device is on the Pocket PC Web site (http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/
pocketpc).

designed for the Toshiba Pocket PC e800 and your device processor
