||
If you’ve browsed around a computer accessories store, you’ve probably seen modem cables, LAN cables, or even a mouse with a little spring-wound gadget to wind up the cable when you aren’t using it. Proporta’s retractable USB Sync and Charge Cable uses that sort of system to make the cable pocket-sized when you aren’t using it, yet stretch out to 34 inches when you are. As the name implies, you can sync using the cable and it uses USB power to charge your Palm. I didn’t see a noticeable difference in how long it took to charge versus charging on the desktop stand , so USB must provide sufficient power to charge at full speed. The sync cable is well made and the retraction gadget, which has been balky on some retractable items I’ve tried, works smoothly.
 One neat plus is that, while you have to remove your Palm from the Proporta aluminum case, you can actually use the sync and charge cable in most leather cases without removing the Palm. The only thing missing is that there’s no Hotsync button on the cable, so you will have to invoke the Hotsync from either the Palm or your desktop. I’ve not found that to be an issue, but if you’re the sort to get annoyed by an extra step, you’ve been warned.  It’s an ideal thing to keep in the bag with your laptop for updating and charging your Palm when you’re away from the desk. I actually find I use it just about as often as the desktop charger. I’d highly recommend one of these for anyone who travels or uses a laptop. Features: - Synchronise and charge your PDA from any standard USB port. - Lightweight yet durable. - Easy to carry. - Cable extends to 85cm (34in) Compatible with: - Palm Zire 71 - Palm Tungsten-T - Palm Tungsten-T2 - Palm Tungsten-T3 --Tucker Hatfield Palm Editor http://www.proporta.com/detail.asp?id=574 | ||
