Adding And Removing Programs; Adding Programs Using Microsoft Activesync - Dell Axim X30 Owner's Manual

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
www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile.
