Windows Mobile Device Center Update for Windows Vista Beta 2

Posted by Steven Parker on 16 June 2006 - 12:57 · 12 comments & 8834 views

Tonight, a update to Windows Vista Beta 2's Windows Mobile Device Center has gone up on Windows Update. This update gives the Windows Mobile Device Center full capability of syncing your Windows Mobile Phone or Device with Outlook. It even supports OneNote 2007 Mobile as well. It offers an impressive UI arrangement giving you full access to syncing your device and accessing its files. It even tells you how many images you have on your Mobile Device when you move your mouse over "Photos, Music and Video". I'm certainly impressed with this update and expect it will only get better here on out.

Bye Bye ActiveSync!

It says "Outlook has not been configured"

But it has been configured (Outlook 2007)

Unless there's something I'm missing.

#9 Posted by Mr Dickie on 24 Jun 2006 - 07:32: Mine doesnt work either. I can get it to sync but with Contacts, Calendar and Email it says "Outlook has not been configured"

Is it WMDC or Outlook 2007 or what? Please help, cos this is much better than ActiveSync

#10 Posted by Mr Dickie on 25 Jun 2006 - 06:22: i dont know if this is correct but reading another forum they are suggesting it only works fully with Windows Mobile 5 devices not ppc 2003 devices. Anyone confirm this?

#11 Posted by cran2k on 18 Jul 2006 - 11:54: Has anyone managed to get this to work? With WinCE 2003
