For those who want ActiveSync 4.x news, AS 4.1 is out to the public (I do not believe it is a beta) and yes, you are probably biting your nails to see if your device is supported. Well, these are *Microsoft's* requirements...
Quote

The following mobile device operating systems are supported by ActiveSync 4.1:
• Microsoft® Windows Mobile® 5.0
• Messaging and Security Feature Pack for Microsoft® Windows Mobile® 5.0
• Microsoft® Windows Mobile® 2003 Second Edition
• Microsoft® Windows Mobile® 2003
• Microsoft® Pocket PC 2002, Microsoft® Windows® CE OS version 3.0
• Microsoft® Smartphone 2002, Microsoft® Windows® CE OS version 3.0

However, check to see if your device is *unofficially* supported in AS 4.1...

Two interesting bullets from the MS description of 4.1:

* Faster file transfer speed and photo sync via Outlook are only available for Windows Mobile 5.0-based devices. For customers using Windows Mobile 2003 or 2002-based devices, please continue using ActiveSync 3.8

* Remote PC Sync (via Wifi or LAN) has been removed due to Enterprise customer feedback around security issues. If you are using this feature on a Windows Mobile 2003-based device, please continue using ActiveSync 3.x or earlier.


The second bullet strikes me as close as MS can get to apologizing to AS users squawking about the 4.* loss of remote synching.

hahaha, this really sucks for WM5 users. they can't just revert to using 3.8.
