The Vista version of ActiveSync (AS) is called Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC)... it is required to sync the Microsoft media players on the PC and PDA. The Vista version is more reliable than previous versions. The problem is their Media Player does not download podcasts, so you have to get another program to do this, and I use iTunes. I tried WinAmp but is is bug-riden and Juice is feature-less and hard to control.

The fact that you have to go iTunes -> PC WMP11 -> PDA WMP is a recipe for confusion... have to limit which libraries sync from PC otherwise tries to fill the PDA with all your music. I tried to short-circuit this by downloading podcasts directly to the PDA using Egress, but that had a lot of reliability problems too and I did not have access to podcasts on the PC.

As you can see, I am addicted to podcasts.
