"ActiveSync 4.1 is the latest sync software release for Windows Mobile 5.0 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, Notes, and Contacts updated wirelessly when you’re away from your PC."

The official release of ActiveSync 4.1 is here, so if you have a Windows Mobile 5 device, grab it - especially if you've had problems with USB connections. If you're using an older device, it's probably best to stick with version 3.x so you can keep WiFi sync.

BTW - the build # is 4841.

The 4.1 that was floating around the Internet a couple of months ago was build 4807.

Right. That build was not an official release.

Just as a side note, if you don't have a Windows Mobile 5 device, this release offers nothing new. So you should just stick with what you got.

I installed it just cause I gotta have the latest, even if it does nothing. :mrgreen:

How about if it does less than the previous version?

[Jerry Raia]

You are referring to the WiFi issue I assume? Never used it myself. There is no denying this is one neglected application. Don't get me started. :lol:

Remember you need to create a new ActiveSync relation after installation (might not be handy to those who sync over 2 computers), it is no "upgrade" installation. Nothing new in this build besides localization, same little bugs (specific contacts and/or appontments do not sync) are present in this build.

Yup. Problems only appear with WM5.

The X51v is a WM5 device..natively. 4.1 was intended to alleviate most of the issues folks were having with 4.0.
