Very good travel cable.
A very useful travel cable. Keep it in my laptop case for backing up on the road. Could be used as a primary cable at home, but wouldn't have the stand that comes with the original handspring visor.

Too long a cord...?
I don't own this cord yet -- but if it's for "mobile users" why have such a long cord??? More to pack. I have the new tiny iBook (4.9 #s,8.1x11x1.3, CDRW-DVD, Monitor out cable) tiny mouse and earphones - a powerhouse. Also added are mobile accessories of tiny surge protector including wrap phone cord, screen cleaner. My Visor is the Deluxe with eyemodule, 2 backups, 8MB, Targus keyboard, remote, stylus pen, MP3 player, etc. that fits with extra batteries, and all in a Compaq zip case ordered. I could easily bring iBook and Visor in my zipped Incase except for the Visor cradle. Why not make the Cable slim and small with a shorter cord? Every ounce and cord wrap and bulk counts with a Road Warrior!

Handspring Mobility at its best.
Having this cable will allow you to hotsync not only with your laptop, but to any PC where you might not have a spare cradle laying around (Windows 2000 supports USB). I use thisin conjunction with my HandSpring Back-up module. I use the module when I'm away from a PC, and use this cable when I don't feel like carrying around a cradle with me all the time. A must for the mobile elite. =)

My only recommendation would be for HandSpring to integrate this cable with a charger into one package.

Good Concept... If it only would work.
I thought this was a great purchase for my handspring for those times when I was on the road and wanted to Sync with my laptop computer. Unfortunately, it did not work with my Visor Deluxe and so far I have been unable to understand why.

The trouble started when I went to sync and discovered that there was no HotSync button anywhere on the cable. Unable to start the process, I gave up.
