Favorite Links During synchronization, the list of favorites in the Mobile Favorites folder on your computer is synchronized with Pocket Internet Explorer on your device. The computer and the device are updated with changes made to either list each time you synchronize. Unless you mark the favorite link as a mobile favorite, only the link is downloaded to your device-you need to connect to your ISP or network to view the content. For more information on synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on your computer.
