Adding or Removing Programs
Programs added to your Pocket PC at the factory are stored in ROM
(read-only memory). You cannot remove this software, and you’ll never
accidentally lose ROM contents. All other programs and data files added to
your Pocket PC after factory installation are stored in RAM (random access
memory).
You can install any program created for your Pocket PC, as long as your
Pocket PC has enough memory. The most popular place to find software for
your Pocket PC is on the Pocket PC Web site
(http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/pocketpc/).
