Adding or Removing Programs
Programs added to your device at the factory are stored in ROM (read-
only memory). You cannot remove this software, and you’ll never
accidentally lose ROM contents. ROM programs can be updated using
special installation programs with a *.xip extension. All other programs
and data files added to your device after factory installation are stored in
RAM (random access memory).
You can install any program created for your device, as long as your
device has enough memory. The most popular place to find software for
your device is on the Pocket PC Web site
(http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc).

desktop computer before installing it on your device.
1 Determine your device and processor type so that you know which
version of the software to install. Tap
and then Settings. On the
System tab, tap About. In the Version tab, make a note of the
information in Processor.

disk that contains the program into your desktop computer). You may
see a single *.xip, *.exe,, or *.zip file, a Setup.exe file, or several
versions of files for different device types and processors. Be sure to
select the program designed for the Toshiba Pocket PC and your
device processor type.
