Memory
Your data can be stored in different memory locations on your PDA. These include Main Memory, Built-in storage memory and external flash card memory. Both Main Memory and Built-
in storage memory reside on the PDA. The Main memory is a volatile memory. Therefore, any data stored in Main memory will be lost after a
hard reset
. The Built-in storage memory is
a non-volatile memory. The data stored in this type of memory will not be affected following a
hard reset
. The SD and the Compact Flash are removable memory cards that are inserted
and removed from the top of the PDA.
On the iPAQ 4150, the main memory has a capacity of about 56 megabytes. The built-in storage memory, also called the IPAQ File Store has a capacity of about 3 megabytes. Different
memory capacities are available for SD cards.
On the Dell Axim 50, the main memory has a capacity of about 31 megabytes. The Dell’s Built-In storage has a capacity of about 93 megabytes. As with SD cards, different memory
capacities are available for Compact Flash cards.
Maestro (or Trekker) frequently checks the remaining space on your PDA’s main memory. If it gets too low, you will hear the following message:
Warning, pocket PC main memory
extremely low. Please free some memory space!
You will need to remove some Text Notes and Vocal Notes files from the main memory of your PDA.

File Management (Maestro)
Files created by Maestro applications are stored by default in the root of My Documents, which is located in Main Memory. Only files that are stored under My Documents or its
subfolders can be transferred to your regular PC during synchronization. Note that the Text Notes and the Vocal Notes applications do not recognize any folders that are located below
the subfolders. During a normal ActiveSync session, files stored in Main Memory of your PDA are synchronized with those in the “My Documents\Pocket_PC My Documents” folder of
your main PC. The standard PDA folders created by Active Sync are Business, Personal, and Templates.
