Windows Mobile Device Center Update Available for Windows Vista Beta 2
Posted by Darius Wey in "SOFTWARE" @ 10:00 PM
"Tonight, a update to Windows Vista Beta 2's Windows Mobile Device Center has gone up on Windows Update. This update gives the Windows Mobile Device Center full capability of syncing your Windows Mobile Phone or Device with Outlook. It even supports OneNote 2007 Mobile as well. It offers an impressive UI arrangement giving you full access to syncing your device and accessing its files. It even tells you how many images you have on your Mobile Device when you move your mouse over "Photos, Music and Video"."
A problem I, and many others had with Beta 2 of Windows Vista was the lack of PIM data sync functionality when a Pocket PC or Smartphone was connected to the Windows Mobile Device Center. But according to a report at The Hive, that functionality is now available, thanks to an update for the Device Center that was released yesterday. I'm in the middle of a computing setup shuffle, so I don't have Windows Vista on any of my computers at the moment, but I hope to reinstall it next week to test out the new sync features.
For those of you currently using Windows Vista, download the update (via Automatic Updates) and sync your device with the Windows Mobile Device Center, and then let us know what you think. I'll post my findings in a few days time.
