Adding or Removing Programs in ROM and
RAM

Programs added to your Pocket PC at the factory are stored in read-only
memory (ROM). You cannot remove this software, and ROM contents are
never lost. ROM programs can be updated using special installation
programs with a *.xip extension. All other programs and data files added to
your Pocket PC after the factory installation are stored in random access
memory (RAM).

You can install programs created for your Pocket PC; the most popular place
to find Pocket PC software is on the Pocket PC Web site
(http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc). Before you install any
programs for the first time, be sure that your Pocket PC has enough
memory.

Adding Programs Using ActiveSync

Install the appropriate software for your Pocket PC on your PC before
installing it on your Pocket PC.
