Microsoft releases Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1

by Brad Linder Jun 7th 2007

As expected, Microsoft pushed out an updated version of Windows Mobile Device Center yesterday. WMDC 6.1 offers a few new features. For the most part, nothing flashy, but there's some good news in here for Windows Mobile 6.0 users or pretty much anyone who needs to synchronize files between their computer and PDA or Smartphone.

Enhanced support for Windows Mobile 6
File synchronization option added for Smartphones (you could already synchronize files with touchscreen devices)
Configure Windows Mobile 6 devices to open documents protected with Information Rights Management
Synchronize HTML-formatted mail
Acquire certificates through the PC when your mobile device is connected

There's still no option to resolve conflicts manually as you could with ActiveSync. You can only choose to have files on your mobile device overwrite those on your PC or vice versa when there's a conflict.

Windows Mobile Device Center is available for Windows Vista users who have a mobile device running Windows Mobile 2003 or later.

it'd be great to have backward compatibility with older operating systems.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
