I, too, use ActiveSync all the time. I also have card readers so I have the best of both worlds. But ActiveSync is a fine way to get things in to the BrailleNote quickly. The only problem I have with ActiveSync is not a BrailleNote issue. I am asked often when I connect whether or not I want to rename my mobile device because there is a conflict. That's annoying but I deal with it.
