Adding or Removing Programs

Programs added to your MobilePro at the factory are stored in read-only memory (ROM). You
cannot remove this software, and you'll never accidentally lose ROM contents. The ROM
programs can be updated using special installation programs with a *.xip extension. All other
programs and data files added to your MobilePro after factory installation are stored in random
access memory (RAM).
You can install any program created for your MobilePro, as long as it has enough memory. The
most popular place to find software for your MobilePro is on the Pocket PC Web site
(http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc). You can also find several productivity, mobility,
and amusement programs on your Companion CD and SD card.
