Hi,
I have just gone from a PSION Workabout ProC with Windows Mobile 2003 to one
with Windows Mobile 5. On the ealier model you could partition the memory
with a slider control, this options seems to be missing in the later model.
Does anyone know how to change the partition?

Many thanks in advance

I don't think its there anymore. If you go to running programs, then memory,
it looks the same but now no slider.

You can't do it any more as RAM is only used for dynamic execution, not for
static storage.

Also see my articles, I've discussed this q in several of them.

Fred,

In Windows Mobile 5 and 6, the way RAM and ROM are treated are different
than in previous versions. Essentially it is more akin to your PC now: RAM
runs applications and ROM stores them.

The Windows Mobile Team did a great article on this back when Windows Mobile
5 came out. You can read it at
http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/...14/438991.aspx. It is
based on Persistent Storage but you will get the idea. Further, Werner has
posted several good articles related to this over at PocketPC Magazine in
the Experts Blog.

The bottom line is that the previous need to balance between program memory
and storage memory has been eliminated by the way RAM and ROM are used in
the newer devices.

Regards,
