USB 2.0 is backwards compatible with USB 1.1 so plugging your cradle into a 2.0 port will work fine, you just won't see any speed increase since Active Sync runs at serial speeds anyway. That's why copying large files to your Pocket PC seems to take for ever. You would be better served getting a USB 2.0 card reader and using this to copy files to a memory card.

But is it going at USB 2 speeds? If only... :cry:

Not at all. I'm pretty sure ActiveSync doesn't even come close to challenging USB 1.1.

Yes I compared both USB ports and there is no speed increase if connected to USB 2.

Funny how we went from a new ppc model (the h2200) to USB 2.0 and such... lol a trifle humurous if i do say so myself...

Of course ActiveSync won't be faster if you have USB 2.0on your computer. Your Pocket PC is still USB 1.1 and that acts as a bottle neck. But I remember reading recently that although we connect with USB cables we still get serial cable speeds because of the drivers. Is that true?

Yes, it is kind of funny that we got sidetracked to USB 2.0. Makes me wonder if this'll make to the Hall of Flame & Shame for going off topic :lol: j/k

ActiveSync was originally built for a serial connection. It has since been adapted to use a USB connection but only for connectivity, it is still running as a serial connection in terms of speed.
