78 Adding and Removing Programs
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.

the program designed for the Pocket PC and your device processor
type.
