ActiveSync may be a thing of the past for those people using Windows Vista. TechNet just announced that they will be releasing Windows Mobile Device Center Beta next week for people to start testing.
I couldn’t find much information on what to expect but it looks like they are just throwing a fancy interface onto ActiveSync. I did find a few people who said that it connects and synchronizes much faster than ActiveSync ever did. It looks like it will be a nice application but I am sure there will be some people who would prefer the traditional ActiveSync that they are already used to.
Guess we won’t find out too much more until next week.
Thanks to ‘OldManDeath‘ for the tip!
In looking at this screenshot a second time, it appears to me that they are designing it to be in line with their Windows Media Center style of interface design.
