Thanks for all the information. I tested some of this stuff and have had
success with it but I would like to know if it's impossible to work with
USB on Pocket PC without running Active Sync. In other words if it's
possible to establish USB connection to a computer without using ActiveSync
at all?
Thanks,
Anchal
