Adding or Removing Programs
Programs added to your Pocket PC Phone 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 special installation programs with a
*.xip extension. All other programs and data files added to your Pocket PC Phone after factory installations are stored in RAM
(random access memory).
You can install any program created for your Pocket PC Phone as long as your Pocket PC Phone has enough memory. The most
popular place to find software for your Pocket PC Phone is on the Pocket PC web site
(http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc).
