Thanks for your reply....
I want to make sure I understand that you cannot sync Notes and Tasks if you
sync directly with Exchange? Do you only catch Notes and Tasks if you sync
directly with Outlook?
I am also correct that if you get a Pocket PC with 802.11? you can sync
directly with your exchange server through most any kind of Wireless Access
Point connected to the internet without any kind of intermediary PC?
Thanks again....
