How I sync my Windows Phone 7

摘要

While both my Android devices (phone and tablet) and iPod support VPN, DLNA and/or have apps to connect to my media servers, my Dell Venue Pro lacks VPN and DLNA support. To circumvent this limitation, I set up a virtual machine running Windows 7 and Zune software for the PC. I exposed my /data partition to Windows using SAMBA and set it up as a mapped drive. In Zune, I set up Music and Photos to point to the respective directories on the mapped drive. Zune has WiFi sync support for Windows Phone 7. So my music and photos started syncing with Windows Phone 7 over WiFi.
