Default Installing apps

Hi,

I was wondering. Can u only install apps with activesync, or can u also install from the sd card?
I'm new to pocket pcees, and i work with apple computers. Activesync does not run on them.
Also i was wondering were is the file were my contacts are stored, and can i copy this file from the device to my sd card in it?
My parents do own a pc, but it would be cool if i could install and back up things without it.

Tenx guys and gals

You can install from the SD Card. One way is to put the *.CAB file on your card open explorer click the cab file and it will install. I think the path will stay wih the Card though ( Correct me if I'm wrong here someone) so the app will be on the card as aposed to the device.

From what has been posted, the install mechanism is completely replaced in WM5. The install routine will always ask where you wish to install apps on the device itself, like happens on Symbian smartphones.
So installing from SD should be no problem at all.
