2/14/2007 1:52 PM:  ActiveSync 4.5 and Daylight Saving Time changes

GibbsUSA.net smilie: grin Microsoft have finally released ActiveSync 4.5 after months in BETA. You can download it here.

Additional details (from the Microsoft download page):

- Faster file transfer speed and photo sync via Outlook are only available for Windows Mobile 5.0 powered devices.
- Remote PC Sync (via WiFi or LAN) has been removed due to Enterprise customer feedback around security issues.
- 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 included in ActiveSync 4.5: Direct Push Technology, local device wipe, and certificate powered authentication to Microsoft Exchange.
- Microsoft Outlook 2000 is not supported by ActiveSync 4.5. It is highly recommended that users upgrade to Microsoft Outlook 2003 messaging and collaboration client.
- Conversion of database files for use on a mobile device is not supported by ActiveSync 4.5. On previous versions, this feature was limited to devices running Windows Mobile software for Pocket PC 2003 and earlier.
- Conversion of font files for use on a mobile device is not supported by ActiveSync 4.5. On previous versions, this feature was limited to devices running Windows Mobile software for Pocket PC 2003 and earlier.
- Connectivity and synchronization may require separately purchased equipment and/or wireless products (e.g., WiFi card, network software, server hardware, and/or redirector software). Service plans are required for Internet, WiFi and phone access. Features and performance may vary by service provider and are subject to network limitations. See device manufacturer, service provider and/or corporate IT department for details.

In addition, Microsoft have also "officially" released the Daylight Saving time patches for Windows Mobiles. While I mentioned this a while ago, you can now browse directly to "http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/default.mspx" on your pocket PC to get the details. Good luck...

GibbsUSA.net smilie: coolguy I have noticed from the blog and Pocket PC communities that devices are already beginning to surface sporting the new Windows Mobile 6 OS...should be interesting!

I'll put money on the fact that T-Mobile won't offer an upgrade to the US MDA...GibbsUSA.net smilie: grim
