Installing files and add-on applications
Your handheld comes with many applications installed and ready to use. During

memory, and you can delete them at any time.

handheld, such as Microsoft Office documents, photos, or audio files. Files that are
not associated with an application on your handheld may not be installed during
a HotSync operation.
