ActiveSync 4.1 available online

Microsoft has released an updated version of the desktop PC synchronization software it released with Windows Mobile 5.0. 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 (devices with Media Player 10 Mobile only).
• Ability to sync photos assigned to contacts from Outlook on the desktop (Windows Mobile 5.0 devices only).
