The Programs and Services option has two sub-options: One takes you to the windowsmobile home page on microsoft.com; the other option allows you to add/remove programs via this dialog:


The Pictures Music and Video option has 3 sub-options: one shows you how many "new pictures/video clips are available for import"; the last one launches a wizard from Media Player so you can "add media to your device from windows media player"; the middle option offers the following dialog "picture video import settings":


The File Management option doesn't seem to have changed from the one I captured last time.

The Mobile Device Settings option shows connection settings and of course the one we've all been waiting for: Setting up partnership (which I'll have more on later :-)
