CEII has two modes, controllable from your PDA - the first is an Activesync pass through, which basically allows the standard Activesync connection. In this case, your device is seen as a normal PDA and not a thumbdrive. The second mode activates the emulation, in which case AS is completely ignored - your PDA will work as a standard USB drive.
Important limitation to note though - RAM is
not readable in this mode, hence my reference to glorified card reader :lol: Switching between the two modes takes two clicks, as CEII places an icon in your "system tray" for lack of a better term (which means yes, it's loaded on a soft reset and stays resident, and yes, it takes some doing to uninstall).
Second limitation - you can't switch modes while connected, or at least I don't dare try
Third limitation - on some PDAs (like mine) the internal flash ROM is not readable either.

:lol: Don't disagree with you - just pointing out an error. For large file transfers, I use a dedicated card reader as well, but on the go or in a hurry it's not really feasible or practical to carry around - a retractable sync cable is a lot more convenient, especially if all I'm after is small docs or ppts. Using a card reader, I'd have to pop out the card, put it in the reader, dig out the reader's cable, and then plug in - I lose two steps by having just carrying a sync cable instead.
