ActiveSync 4.1 Released

ActiveSync® 4.1 is the latest sync software release for Windows Mobile 5.0-based devices.

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 data, notes and contact information updated wirelessly when you’re away from your PC.*

New features include:
• New partnership wizard to help customers more easily setup a sync partnership
• 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.

Recently, I just downloaded the beta version & tried on my Axim X50v which upgraded to Windows Mobile 5. I noticed there're some slightly improvements on PIM synchronization but anyway, I dont use that at all. Heard Microsoft had taken away the WiFi sync, hence if you're using an older device, it's probably best to stick with version 3.x so you can keep WiFi sync.
