Setting up Google Sync on Windows Mobile
Google’s Sync service allows you to backup the contents of your Contacts and Calendar folders from your PDA to Google’s servers, where you can access the information from any web browser with a connection to the Internet.
The system uses Microsoft’s Server ActiveSync protocol, and therefore does not require that any additional software be installed on the Windows Mobile device – you can simply use the ActiveSync client already present on the device.
You will need an account with Google, but registration is free: browse to http://m.google.com/sync from your PC.
Setting up a Pocket PC device
Tap on Start and open the Programs Folder. Tap on the icon for ActiveSync.
Select the option to Set up your device to sync with an Exchange Server.
On the next screen, untick the option to ‘determine settings automatically’ if the option is available, the following screen will be displayed:
In the Server address field type in ‘m.google.com’ as shown above. Ensure that the option ‘This server requires an encrypted connection’ is ticked.
Tap Next, the following screen will be displayed:
Enter your username and password information.
Your username will be your full Google email address, normally in the form ‘xxxx@googlemail.com’.
Your password will be the password you specified when you created your GoogleMail account.
Leave the domain field empty. If your device requires a domain to be entered, use ‘google’.
Tap Next, the following screen will be displayed:
Select the option to synchronise the Contacts and Calendar folders. Untick the Email and Tasks options.
Tap Finish. Your device is now configured for Google Sync.
