Tip of the Week: Transferring files to your device with live mesh
With all the wireless capabilities I wonder why we still mess with all these cables in order to sync to our computer. There has to be an easier way to get our info from the web to our devices. Recently Dieter detailed a great way for contacts and calendar from gmail, but what about cab files? More often then not we can simply navigate to the web site that has a .cab file we want and download it there. Then again if it’s on a big site like WMExperts that page could take a while to load. Dieter mentioned in the WMExperts Podcast how we can use Live Mesh to fix this cable dilemma. Which brings us to today’s tip of the week.
Today’s tip of the week is getting cab files from your computer to your device with no cables.
