No
question, ActiveSync and/or Windows Mobile Device Center is and was a love/hate
relationship for most Windows Mobile users and if you still have problems with
either the one or the other, Laplink's latest PDAsync version might be an
interesting alternative.
Just released by the grandfather of all sync-software, Laplink PDAsync 4
provides you with simple, high-speed, one-click synchronization between your
mobile devices and popular applications on your computer for all your corporate
and individual needs. This fast, flexible and easy-to-use software supports all
major devices, including
Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6 PDAs and smartphones and applications, including
Outlook, Lotus Notes, ACT! and Novell GroupWise.

PDAsync is compatible with Palm OS, Pocket PC, Windows Mobile powered
Smartphones and a number of leading PDA makers including Sony Ericsson, T-Mobile
and Samsung. After the initial synchronization, PDAsync saves you time by only
syncing the changes you have made instead of syncing all the data again.
Multiple devices can be associated with multiple applications via profiles.
Not only does PDAsync sync your E-Mail, but it keeps track of the read/unread
status of all your messages, so you don't have to.
Now the bad news. Unlike ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center (which
you still need anyway as underlying connection method), Laplink PDAsync 4 costs
US$ 49.95 but this might be a worth investment if you use other applications
than Outlook or ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center has driven you crazy
already. In any case, a free trial version is available too.
