Please log in for more thread options Just to be clear, AS 4.1 works fine with WM2003, WM2002 etc. It does limit
some features such as WiFi sync though, which are removed for WM5 devices.
The point being made is that there is no reason to upgrade to 4.1 if you do
not have a WM5 device. You gain nothing and lose some features that you may
be enjoying. I personally have several pre-WM5 devices that are happily
syncing with AS4.1. I have WM5 devices that I needed to upgrade for. For
those that don't, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
