DOWNLOAD ACTIVESYNC 4.1

Microsoft ActiveSync provides a great synchronization experience with Windows-based PCs and Microsoft Outlook right out of the box. ActiveSync acts as the gateway between your Windows-based PC and Windows Mobile-based device, enabling the transfer of Outlook information, Office documents, pictures, music, videos and applications from your desktop to your device. In addition to synchronizing with a desktop PC, ActiveSync can synchronize directly with Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 so that you can keep your e-mail, Calendar, Notes, and Contacts updated wirelessly when you’re away from your PC.*

New features include:
New partnership wizard makes syncing easier
Faster transfer of data files including media
Ability to sync photos assigned to contacts from Outlook on the desktop

ActiveSync 4.1 supports PC sync via USB cable, Bluetooth, or infrared connection.

Remote PC Sync (via Wifi or LAN) has been removed due to Enterprise customer feedback around security issues. If you are using this feature on a Windows Mobile 2003-based device, please continue using ActiveSync 3.x or earlier.
Beginning in 2006, customers using Microsoft Exchange 2003 Service Pack 2 with devices running the Messaging and Security Feature Pack for Windows Mobile 5.0 will benefit from the following feature enhancements in ActiveSync 4.1: Direct Push Technology, local device wipe, and certificate-based authentication to Exchange Server.

Hi,
My wife and I are currently using Active Sync 3.7 for our PDA's. If I was to download this version, would the new one automatically copy over the connections settings and partnerships or would my existing ones be lost.

Don't really want to wipe out PDA's just for the sake of an upgrade that I might not get much benefit out of???

Thanks

hmm MS recommend that you remove the older version first so there is a good chance that your settings would be lost, if you dont have any problems there is no need to upgrade.

Thanks - I was just think of upgrading the Active Sync as since I have upgraded my PDa to Tom Tom 5, it is now very, very slow to sync up. (only syncing Favorites and Files). Just incase, will probably leave well alone until I am forced to do a hard reset.
