I recently purchased a Pocket PC and I use ActiveSync 3.7.1 to keep my
Outlook data on the Pocket PC and my notebook computer in sync with each
other. It works great! Now here is a novel idea that I would like to see.
Believe it or not I actually use my notebook computer as a mobile device and
I add information to outlook all the time while I am working outside of my
office. What I would really like to do is synchronize my outlook on my
Desktop computer back at my home office. I find it VERY frustration that I
have to spend time duplicating all the effort I spend in maintaing my data on
my notebook and then having to spend an equal amount of time on my desktop
computer as well. The only solution that MS seems to have is to use public
folders on an exchange server. Seems to me like that is a very expensive
solution for one person to keep his or her two computers in synch with each
other. I may be wrong but, I don't think that I am the only person in the
world that would love to synchronize a destop computer with their notebook
computer. Seems to me that ActiveSync would be the logical solution if it
would only allow LAN (wireless or wired) connections between to computers
instead of just trying to make connections via a USB port to a Windows CE
device. After all notebook computers ARE mobile devices too!
I have even thought about getting a USB to USB cable that allows computer
file transfers.
The only other idea I have had about keeping the outlook on my two computers
in sync is to move the pst file onto a USB flash drive and move the USB flash
drive between the two computers, but that has the disadvantage that I could
not have outlook running on the two computers at the same time which is often
the case.
If you have any other suggested ways to synchronize two seperate
installations of Outlook I'd love to know what they are.
