Overview
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.

NOTE:
Faster file transfer speed and photo sync via Outlook are only available for Windows Mobile 5.0-based devices.

Remote PC Sync (via Wifi or LAN) has been removed due to Enterprise customer feedback around security issues. If you are using this feature on a Windows Mobile 2003-based device, please continue using ActiveSync 3.x or earlier.

Beginning in 2006, 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 in ActiveSync 4.1: DirectPush Mail, local device wipe, and certificate-based authentication to Exchange Server.

*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.

But 4.1 isn't new

This week I have been mostly listening to..... Short cummings audio

usually it is v4.1 XXXX

those last 4 digits should be new version though

But those numbers aren't listed on the page... probably the same version with the download page updated as it is in 'Worldwide English'

I only see the NEW release date ... I guess there's only one way to findout

... my setup is fine the way it is currently ( AS 4.1_4841 + X51V (A04) )

I'm not about to screw it up

seems coincidently/suspiciously when DELL recently release update that basically same as previous update ... now MS is doing the same ...do you think thay are TOYING with us consumers ???....

...now the link to the page just hang ...

No... I think that they are slightly rebranding it as a worldwide english release.

that's the same thing DELL did recently with their release for those wihed to roll back to WM2003SE. ( rebranding )

MS never did something like this ... don't know what to make of it
