Great news for Vista users: Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 was launched last night and is now available for download from our Windows Mobile site as well as from Windows Update. We had run into a couple of speed bumps on the final stretch drive, but the team switched into 5th gear and was still able to steer through these smoothly.
Windows Mobile Device Center is the replacement for ActiveSync on Windows Vista, and enables Windows Mobile users to connect their device, quickly set up new partnerships, synchronize content including PIM and files, transfer music, pictures, and video, and manage their devices with Windows Vista. This new version contains key improvements and new features to support Windows Mobile 6 devices.
- The key updates delivered in this release include:
- IRM activation
- HTML mail
- Certificate enrollment
- File synchronization on all WM 6 devices (Yes, even Smartphone!)
- Windows Embedded CE 6.0 support
- Automatic device authentication
- Product registration
- Silent-mode install for corporate deployment
- And more!
