I received this message from a US Humanware support person. Original message:
Hello Richard, Windows Vista includes a new integrated Sync Center that replaces the current ActiveSync application for Windows XP. Currently the BrailleNote can be connected to a Vista machine, and files and documents can be transferred with no problem. Microsoft Outlook contacts and calendar data via KeySync is currently not supported under Vista, but our developers are at work and there will hopefully be news to share soon.

Since Office 2007 and Vista are currently both out on the market. And, since Vista is out, is HumanWare planning on allowing the ability to synchronize with either a Vista desktop/laptop. To my knowledge Vista is not planning on using ActiveSync 4.2, instead they are planning on using SyncToy v1.4. I am assuming HumanWare is working on something because if they are not they will be left behind in the ever growing so fast technological evolution. I think one of the major things that must be done is upgrading the operating system to Windows CE 6.0, this will fix many other issues that people have been looking for, and this will put the BrailleNote in the lead of having the latest operating system, since all of the other note taking devices are only up to 5.0 at the most. This will also make it so the BrailleNote is able to synchronize with Vista units and read Office 2007 files. This will also open up the ability to use a wider range of devices, whether that is going through bluetooth, USB, or through some other means of connection. This will require a lot of work on HumanWare side, but we have to start somewhere.
