WINDOWS MOBILE DEVICE CENTER

A MUST READ ARTICLE!

Jason Langridge posted a neat article today giving an overview of the WINDOWS MOBILE DEVICE CENTER.  For those of you that don't know Jason, he operates Jason Langridge's WebLog - MR Mobile! which is a blog dedicated to Windows Mobile in the Enterprise! But you don't have to be in the Enterprise to get great information from him(which is just about everyday).

In part, Jason said:

With the upcoming Windows Vista release I thought I'd publish a blog article on the Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC)  I also managed to grab some screenshots when I was working with our PM - Prithvi so I thought I'd share those too!

So what is the Windows Mobile Device Center?

Well firstly it's the Synchronisation client for Windows Vista.  Activesync is not compatible with Windows Vista...

It's been in Public Beta since early October and is scheduled to ship with Vista later this year.

It's compatible with Windows Mobile 2003, Windows Mobile 5.0 and future releases of Windows Mobile devices. 

In terms of the key features it's been designed for easy device setup and management as well as having an intuitive user interface.

You can connect to WMDC via Bluetooth and USB but not WiFi (this was removed from Activesync sometime ago due to security concerns from customers
