1.4.1 Windows Mobile
Windows Mobile (including Windows Mobile 5, Windows Mobile 2003, and Smartphones) requires
a patch released by Microsoft to patch the Windows Mobile registry. Novell is also releasing a patch
for the Wireless Email client to accommodate the new daylight saving time rules. Users can apply
the Windows Mobile update manually, but the Novell patch also distributes and applies the
Microsoft patch for Windows Mobile devices. For more information on the Windows Mobile patch,
see the Microsoft Web site (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/timezone/dst2007.mspx).
