Windows 7 has been running on PCs for nearly five months now (longer if you count beta and RC versions), and each passing week brings more messages from users with questions and concerns regarding syncing the new OS with Windows Mobile smartphones and Classic Pocket PCs.
In order to address some of the most frequent questions we receive, we’ve posted a new article in the Windows Mobile Help Center designed to sort out general Windows 7 and Windows Mobile confusion, including topics about syncing, software, OS compatibility, Outlook requirements and more.

First, we’d like to thank everyone who has sent in questions to help build our Android Help Center. We’ve received hundreds of messages and they’ve each helped us construct the newest section of the site which is still under development.
Of the questions we’ve received, a large number have focused on Android media solutions, in particular music and video. With respect to video, most questions centered on how to get a movie from a DVD onto an Android handheld.
So, we’ve begun work on a new Help Center Guide to highlight the software available to encode DVD video in Android-friendly video files. At this time, the relevant software is listed in the guide along with brief descriptions and download links. Over the coming weeks, we’ll add tutorials and/or tips for using each solution, so stay tuned. Also, if you have any questions about what we’ve posted.

iTunes doesn’t sync with non-Apple products, and sadly, this is very much by design. One could argue the company would sell more music and video if this were not the case, but we digress.
So if you have an Android phone, the most popular music management software isn’t an option. What is an option, however, is an up-and-coming iTunes clone, doubleTwist.
This software is designed for many mobile devices, but is very Android OS friendly. With doubleTwist, you can purchase new music via AmazonMP3, manage music, video and photo collections, and sync this media with your phone. You can even create and sync playlists.
If you’re an Android user and have been missing a convenient way to manage the media on your phone, read our latest Android Help Center article, doubleTwist: The iTunes for Android.
