You always could with Windows Mobile. The catch is that a lot of apps run quite poorly from it. The only programs I've ever installed to my SD card are the ones that required it (such as Sashimi). Otherwise I stick to internal memory. I've never installed enough programs to run out of space on my Mogul, and the Touch Pro has twice as much ROM.

yes, you can run programs from the SD card.

I know what RAM and ROM stand for but how are the terms used when it comes to WM? I've been using Palm OS for quites sometime. Do programs I purchase typically get installed to ROM like a hard disk drive on a computer? Is RAM the temporary storage used to run programs? Is the additional flash memory or card simply additional storage space similar to ROM? Thanks.

You are correct.

Thanks! So the Sprint HTC Touch Pro does not have any flash memory at all just a card slot correct?

Does anyone remember the old programs like Stacker that used compression to increase hard drive capacity? Is anything like that available for cards or jump drives? Just curious if you could double the extra storage for the 4GB Diamond if you needed to.

Well you can always get a 16gb microsd and have 4 times that of the diamond.
