As the OS ROM image is on your ROM chip and so is the filestore and you are writing a new ROM image to that chip I am not sure what you were expecting it do?
The question is... has the audio fix been integrated. I see it unpacks two directories - one is the ROM update, one is the standard .exe audio fix. I guess we need to install this after the ROM update still :\

Can anyone let us know how much of ROM is left over after the update for other applications? Also, when re-installing applications, is "Main Memory" considered the ROM or is it still RAM?

It is still RAM.
Just to point out this is NOT the WM5 update (that is expected in a few months). This is a ROM update to fix prior known errors on the unit.
For those too lazy to read the HP site, these are the fixes and improvements - note the third fix seems to be the audio fix as well:
Fixes issues with wireless connectivity.
Fixes issue with execution of .NET framework.
Fixes issue with very high-volume audio signal from third-party applications that could result in potential speaker damage.
Fixes issue where the microphone automatic gain control (AGC) setting was not saved after a power cycle.
Fixes issue where the user interface for the handheld would indicate that the user was connected to a network that was not present.
Fixes issue where protected extensible authentication protocol (PEAP) authentication would fail with no indication that the user's password had expired.
Fixes issue where Pocket Internet Explorer would stall and fail to load a page if the HTTP post was larger than 16K.
Fixes issue where WiFi connection status was incorrectly indicated for some conditions.
Fixes issue with an active modem connection where the handheld was unable to re-establish a connection after the USB cable was unplugged.
Fixes issue that occurred when using WPA-PSK authentication where the handheld failed to authenticate to a second access point (AP) with the same SSID and key.
Fixes issue where the client device packets did not properly route to the target LAN when a point-to-point protocol (PPP) connection was made.
Fixes issue where an exception was generated When disconnecting a serial line Internet protocol (SLIP) server session.
Fixes issue where the wrong domain name server (DNS) address was passed to the server when a secondary IP address was assigned.
Fixes issue where the wrong WEP key was used when switching between configured, preferred, WEP-enabled Wi-Fi connections.
Fixes issue with cached pages where a back/forward navigation would not be sent to the Internet.
Fixes issue with URLs that contain semicolons so that they are no longer truncated when sending the GET request over the Wireless Session Protocol.
Fixes the following localization issues:
* Korean: Fixes issue with contact picker where it did not match Jungseong because asterisk (*) and pound sign (#) key presses were ignored.
* Korean: Fixes issue with contact names that were displayed with no comma or space between the Last and First name.
* Korean: Fixes issue with the Notification dialog so it is no longer
clipped in the Sounds and Notifications Control panel.
* Romanian: Corrects Daylight Savings Time.
Enhancements
Provides an improved Microsoft Pocket Internet Explorer.
Provides an improved Microsoft Windows Media Player.
Enables more than one Settings application to be active at the same time.
Adds new data connectivity icon to the Title bar.
Improves ServerSync application stability.
Enables dialing of a number that starts with a pound sign (#).
Enhances localization, including:
* Traditional Chinese: Improves Wi-Fi settings "Zero Config" dialog box.
* Japan: Improves Wi-Fi settings.
* Korean: Updates the Lunar calendar.
* Enables the pound sign (#) and asterisk (*) to be used in the Contacts application search function.
Just went through with the update then restored from my "Clean" Sprite Backup file... everything is in place and working just like before... only with the improved ROM! It works - go update!
I dont know whether its the fact that this is a clean install, but its a LOT faster. The "Programs" screen scrolls smoothly, before I'd have to wait about 10 seconds each time I scrolled for the icons to load in!
Can someone post the best procedure for transfering the applications/data from one ROM version to the next? I know that any backup made using te current ROM (with the pre-installed back-up program) will not properly transferafter the newer ROM is installed.

Thanks for the feedback ShaLLaX - what size is the 'user' portion of ROM left?

-> Dell Axim X5 (see my PDA)
