synch pocketpc

I've tryied to synch my iPaq 4150 Pocket PC with Windows Vista. I've read that Active Synch has been changed for Synch Center. When I plug my Pocket PC is recognized and Windows Mobile Center opens.
But I can only search for files on the Pocket PC or open Media Player.
In Synch Center I can't see my Pocket PC. Can somebody tell me how to synch?
Thanks, Angel.

At the moment you can only sync media and use explorer with it. The actual proper syncing shall be coming in a update (which will be available on Windows Update), I'm told in the first week of July.

Paul, you rock! A straight answer!!!! So in July we may get PocketPC/Outlook sync. Cool!
Maybe you can help with my connection issue: I've got a Samsung i730 with WM5. Watching ActiveSync on my mobile, when I put it in the craddle, mobile says "connected" and Mobile Device Center starts trying to connect. But then, if just goes back to "not connected". I've got no connectivity between the two.
THANKS!!

If you are using Vista Beta 2 then you shoudl find that after an Update (force an Update if you need to) - you should have the new Mobile Device Centre now - it rocks! It is everything that Activesync was and more - I like the control that I now have over the apps and such.

Thanks Kyle!
I force update constantly. Device Center is v6.0.5444 right now. Is latest?
Seems the problem is all Bluetooth Devices now require a specific driver in Vista. What a nightmare this is going to be as now we must wait for driver from manufactures, which are notorious for not supporting a device they sold last year and can no longer profit from. Microsoft, what are you doing? This will create orphan products quickly.
So, the problem is I can manually add a Samsung MITs Windows Mobile driver, but the driver doesn't work. Digging arounf this newsgroup, that seems the common problem. Now lots are challenged on getting a specific driver to work. Reality is could be months before every device has a perfected driver. Some device may not get a device. I MISS ACTIVE SYNC and generic bluetooth!
Is anyone from Microsoft reading this?

VISTA RC1 does not allow you to install ActiveSynch 4.2 Beta or any version of ActiveSynch. I believe Windwos Mobility Center overrides ActiveSych. Well - anything new on this issue. -- Have a Great Microsoft Day
