Re: Window Mobile 5 and AS v4.x Questions

For backing up your memory card, you might be able to use the free sync toy
from microsoft:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/digitalphotography/prophoto/synctoy.mspx

you can schedule it, but the PDA needs to be plugged in at the scheduled
time. I never tried it but it seems like it would work.

For backing up the actual PDA, I use Spb Backup. Works great, you can
backup to the memory card and load from it as well.

As for installing to memory or storage card, any program that has ANY access
to the today screen needs to be installed on the device. Everything else
can go on an SD card. I've also found that any programs that self initiate
when connected via active sync (like a weather program or RSS reader that
downloads stuff when you connect) seem to do better for me when installed to
the device. Lastly, anything that you need to have running even after going
into and then out of sleep mode (such as alarm or timer programs for
example) usually need to be installed in main memory.

This advice is related to my own PDA experiances with my XV6700. YMMV.

I'm a former HP iPAQ 6515 w/ WM2003 user who just upgraded to a new HP
iPAQ 6925 device and WM5.

1.) WM5 is real annonying with the Windows staying open. Is there any
*native* way in WM5 to enforce the Windows to close rather than stay in
memory?

2.) I noticed there is no longer a backup program in AS v4.1 like v3.8
did have. I'm looking for an alternative to backing up my files. Has
anyone tried to use MS Backup to backup the mini-SD card contents while
it is attached to an PC w/ XP os and via USB or cradle with this or any
other backup s/w? Will the backup s/w see the mini-SD as an attached
drive letter or folder?

3.) I'm wondering the impact that programs stored to main memory has on
the PPC system performace. It seems as though half the memory on my HP
iPAQ 6925 is dedicated to storage, the other half programs. I've in the
past been reluctant to install anything to the memory but rather to the
storage card - fearing system performance issues. I don't yet know if
this was a legitimate concern. Conversely, I believe the performance of
the app may suffer when it is installed to the storage card. What
theory is correct?
