Synchronizing a Pocket PC
My aunt bought a pocket pc with Windows Mobile. She asked me to configure it for her to synchronize it with her PC (files, mail accounts and stuff), but after reading the manual I realized that I had to have Microsoft Exchange Server installed. Then I realized that it costs like $200. Do I really have to buy it? Shouldn't this kind of devices ship with the required software to do the stuff they are supposed to do?
PS: Pardon my english. |

Usually, there is software for PDA's and media devices that come with something called Sync (I think that is the name) This must be installed in order to transfer between the PC and a mobile device. It is a pain in the ass but, it works! I had to do it to transfer songs to two different mobile devices

You need ActiveSync to transfer files and stuff, pretty irritating but that's how it goes.
Microsoft Exchange is expensive, and you'd need a server for that because the load can be pretty high even at idle. It's a business environment program that syncs all the time, meaning if you add a new contact in your addressbook on your computer it will automatically be synced on your pda, mobile and everything. Also if you are wanting to use Exchange i'd suggest you use the 2003 version and not the new 2007/2008 one, has a much higher load for really little changes, unless you want to have a AJAX exchange page ;)

To answer your question about exchange..
The answer is No. You do not need Exchange unless you want to host Email and have your Exchange server send email to the pocket PC. I wouldn't suggest getting into that unless you know what you are doing. To synchronize the Pocket PC with the PC, just download Activesync from MS website (free download) as Magus suggested. Once Activesync is installed, you can connect the Pocket PC to the PC through Bluetooth, USB, or infrared and Activesync will launch and allow you to configure the files you want to sync. Very simple and effective.
