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/).

of the software to install. Tap

different Pocket PC types and processors. Be sure to select the program
designed for the Pocket PC and your Pocket PC processor type.
3. Read any installation instructions, Read Me files, or documentation that
comes with the program. Many programs provide special installation
instructions.
