Programs that were already installed when you received your device are stored in ROM. You cannot remove these programs, and you never accidentally lose ROM contents. ROM programs can be updated using installation programs with the *.xip extension. You can save data to either ROM or RAM.
You can install any program created for your device as long as your device has sufficient memory. The most popular place to find software for your device is on the Microsoft Pocket PC website:
www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc.
