ActiveSync 4.2 Beta Preview released by Microsoft April 27, 2006 [General] | By Edward J. R. In the next version of Windows XP, to be called "Windows Vista" (coming in year 2007) there will be no ActiveSync (synchronization software for Windows Mobile) at all and it will be integrated into the OS, but in meantime Microsoft is further developing good old ActiveSync: 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. 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. To learn more or to download click here. Please note: still ActiveSync synchronization over Wi-Fi is not possible - also in 4.2 - and nobody at Microsoft has been fired for this (or other) mistake.
