Adding and removing programs

Programs bundled with your handheld at the factory are stored in ROM (read-only memory). You cannot remove these programs, and you'll never accidentally lose ROM contents. ROM programs can be updated using special installation programs. All other programs and data files installed to your handheld after factory installation are stored in RAM (random access memory).

You can install any program created for your handheld, as long as it has enough memory. The most popular place to find software for your handheld is on the Pocket PC Web site (http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc/).
