In the future, mobile device users always imagined, no one will ever have to use ActiveSync again.  Microsoft will give us a better way to load programs than the complicated and frustrating Active Sync interface.

Well, thanks to the Windows Mobile Device Center (which is included as part of the new Windows Vista Operating System, which ships today), the future has finally arrived.  No, there are no flying cars that fold up into a briefcase, or housecleaning robots, or…well, OK so the future is not exactly The Jetson’s. 

Many Windows Mobile users, however, have been anxiously waiting for Windows Mobile Device Center almost as much as those flying cars, though, any many are asking whether this upgrade will solve all of the problems experienced with ActiveSync.  Will Windows Vista cure all of your computer woes?  I am not even going to try to answer that question.  I will tell you, however, that Arne Hess over at the::unwired recently posted a thorough review of the new Windows Mobile Device Center.   

Arne concludes, "The new Windows Mobile Device Center is definitely an improvement over the current Microsoft ActiveSync which stayed more or less unchanged since the Pocket PC introduction back in 2000.  The Windows Mobile Device Center offers many features, Windows Mobile users awaited for a long time, like automatic import of photos and the ability to open files straight from the mobile device without copying the files to the PC first. For power users, this is very handy."
