Apr 27 ActiveSync 4.2 Public Beta Preview
Found in: Software, Pocket PC, Smartphone, WM5, Sync,

In the next version of Windows XP, Windows Vista (coming in 2007) there will be no ActiveSync (Windows Vista Mobile Device Center is the follower of ActiveSync) at all and it will be integrated into the OS, but in meantime Microsoft is further developing good old ActiveSync.

ActiveSync 4.2 Beta Preview is an early look at the latest sync software release for Windows Mobile devices.

Microsoft ActiveSync provides a great synchronization experience with Windows powered PCs and Microsoft Outlook right out of the box. ActiveSync acts as the gateway between your Windows powered PC and Windows Mobile powered 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.

ActiveSync 4.2 Public Beta fixes a number of issues you may be experiencing with 4.1. and it is strongly recommended that you don't install this unless you have a Windows Mobile 5 device. Overall, ActiveSync 4.x is geared towards WM5. While it supports WM2003 devices, it doesn't do anything for them that is new, and disables your ability to sync via a network connection, like WiFi.

You can download ActiveSync 4.2 Public Beta here
