Adding or Removing Programs
Programs added to the device at the factory are stored in ROM (Read-Only
Memory). You cannot remove the programs and you will never accidentally
lose ROM contents. All other programs and data files added to the device
after factory installations are stored in the memory.
You can install any program created for the device as long as the device has
enough memory. The most popular place to find software for the device is on
the Pocket PC web site (http://www.pocketpc.com).
