I don't recommend downloading it ... as this is BETA ... as you can see how much trouble V4.1 is ... with this new version being BETA ... prepare to have headaches if you are so brave

ActiveSync 4.2 Beta Preview

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. <<--- can't help laughing at that one !!!

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.*

The ActiveSync 4.2 Beta Preview delivers new features to improve the synchronization experience for customers.

Support for ActiveSync Beta 2 Preview will not be available from Microsoft. Limited peer-to-peer support is available with opportunity to provide feedback from the following site: ActiveSync 4.2 Beta feedback.

Because this is a beta, the ActiveSync 4.2 Beta Preview should not be used on production systems in mission-critical environments.


ActiveSync 4.2 Beta Preview supports PC sync via USB cable, Bluetooth, or infrared connection.

Well I was one of the brave (stupid) ones who downloaded AS 4.2 Beta...

Everything was going fine - could AS via BT with no problems, until I tried to access the internet via BT and the host computer. Nada, nothing, zilch. All I got was the standard message at the top of the PDA telling me to check my settings.

Was about to post for help but thought instead to uninstall and then retrograde to AS 4.1 - lo and behold it worked fine and I can now AS via BT and access the internet via BT on the host machine.

Just my twopenneth....I wouldn't use AS 4.2 if, like me, you access the internet via BT on your host machine
