If you have bought a regular mobile phone in the last couple of years, then you will have noticed that it almost certainly came with a suite of tools to allow you to connect it to your home PC in order to be able to transfer files such as photos or music onto your computer for storage or printing. You can also use the suite of PC tools with most mobile phones to synchronise your phone book and perform tasks such as sending text messages.

If on the other hand you have a smart phone that you use for business purposes, the chances are that you have a great deal more information that you need to share between platforms, and this means that you need a mobile phone that is more compatible with you PC to make transferring documents from one machine to the other as simple as possible.

There are three main operating systems in use on Mobile phones. Symbian has been designed for Nokia Smart Phones, the PalmOS that comes from dedicated PDAs has been installed on many phones, and then there is Windows Mobile. The Apple iPhone uses a version of Apple OSX, but this is the only phone that does so, and it does not have complete smart phone capabilities.

For anyone who uses a PC regularly, Windows Mobile is an instantly understandable system to get to grips with. The functions on the phone are identical to a PC, the controls are the same, and obviously there is 100% compatibility between the two separate systems.

The fact is that whatever operating system your smart phone comes installed with, it will work with your PC in order to transfer information, but by having Windows Mobile on it, you will find connecting the two devices much easier, and it will be a more intuitive system to use. The system connects easily with your computer and includes many of the tools that you will need, as well as offering first class entertainment functions through Windows Media Player. The latest version: Windows Mobile 6.0 shares the interface of Windows Vista and looks great.

One of the best things about Windows Mobile from a user point of view is that it is integrated into the whole Microsoft Live range, which means that it can access your hotmail account, Messenger service, and MSN Spaces for easy transfer of data between platforms and allow you to be more productive.
