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).
