Microsoft Fixes Windows Mobile 6.0 Vista Glitch
Microsoft says it has fixed a problem that made it difficult for Windows Mobile users to synch with Vista PCs. To fix the glitch, on Tuesday night, Microsoft launched Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1.
Designed for Vista users as a replacement for ActiveSync, version 6.1 of Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 is an upgraded version of the software that lets Windows Mobile users manage their phones.
ActiveSync is software that lets PC users synchronize content such as calendar items between phones and PCs. ActiveSync should also make simple transferring content such as music and video files between Windows Mobile phones and PCs.
Early users of Windows Mobile 6.0 devices complained that the Device Center loses files or doesn’t synch files at all.
“In the past, some users reported installation and compatibility issues with Windows Mobile Device Center [WMDC],” said John Starkweather, group product manager in Microsoft’s mobile communications group, in an email statement.
Mobile Device Center 6.1 supports file synchronization for all Windows Mobile 6.0 devices including smartphones. Other new features in Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 include synching HTML-formatted mail and automatic device authentication.
