How To: Installing Programs to a PocketPC w/o a Computer
Got an email earlier today about a post that we had in the forums about how to install programs onto Windows Mobile/PocketPC devices without a computer. And while it is that I was unable to get that post, there is a website that does lay things out step by step.
The entire how to from PocketPC Central.
The one question that PPCCentral doesn't answer is what you can and cannot install right from a website to your Windows Mobile/PocketPC device. In general rules, if you are downloading a program right onto your device (for example from the Internet to your Treo 700wx), then you will want to download the .CAB version of the file and from there use File Explorer to find the .CAB file and then click it to finish the installation.
The only downside to using this method is that if you download something that hoses your device, you will have to wait until you get to your host computer to do a restore. That is, unless you have a backup program (recommended for those with mobile devices).

Sheeesh Antoine you are fast ! Thanks for the personal attention and support. In todays age of running 4 different calendars and surfing on the fly for work or just because you have a few moments, its good to be able to refer to articles and programs that can help you out in the future. Now that my Treo is fully functional I will be surfing the site more often. Keep up the great ( His) Work !
