Microsoft has released a new version of Windows Mobile Device Center, the programme used to synchronise Windows Mobile devices with PCs running Vista.

Some users had been reporting problems with file synchronisation between their handheld devices and Vista PCs. The new version, Windows Mobile Device Center v6.1, fixes that issue and adds other synchronisation features, such as HTML mail, automatic device authentication and certificate enrolment.

Windows Mobile Device Center replaced ActiveSync as the synchronisation tool for Microsoft smartphones and pocket PCs when Vista replaced XP in January this year. Windows Mobile programme manager Mel Sampat announced the new version in his blog on Wednesday.
