Summary: No problems whatsoever - and it travels great!
Review: I bought my cable 2 months ago and have been waiting to write a review until I had this item in constant use for a while. I love this cable. I've had no problem connecting and syncing my m515 every day at work, I've taken it on the road with my laptop twice, and there has been no issue with maintaining the connection, syncing or any of the other issues listed in the other reviews.

I was nervous about buying this product because of the negative comments in some of the other reviews. My need for a hotsync cable for work and travel won out, and I ended up giving this cable a chance because it is so much lighter and compact than a full cradle.

I am happy with my purchase so far. I've recommended it to others and they are just as happy as I. I'd certainly buy it again.

Summary: It is not for Tungsten E!
Review: I found this HotSync cable navigating inside Palm Tungsten E accessories in Amazon, then i supossed that it would work with Tungsten E. But No, Tungsten E uses a diferent connector.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Doesnt fit well.
Review: I have to put a rubberband around the PDA and cable to get a tight enough fit. Dont recommend buying this!

Summary: I got screwed by Amazon
Review: I ordered a new palm zire 71 and the Hot sync cable, item Sku - 692368 only to receive the original box...totally empty!!

I got nothing in the Amazon express box.. but air and foam peanuts.

I'm Piss'd............. Don't do business with Amazon!!!!
I'm trying to find a number to call someone -..... can't find it on the web site.

I'll be buying from Best Buy in the future!

Summary: Satisfied Hot Sync Cable & Charger User
Review: I purchased this to go with a laptop I've been using for a project & it does the job extremely well. I've even used it in a hospital bed while recuperating from an illness. It's made the laptop & the Tungstent T 3 a whole lot easier to use while lying on your back.

Summary: Flimsy connector broke after two uses
Review: I was also very disappointed with this connector. I wanted the convenience of having a small, light weight cable to hot synch and recharge my Zire71 on my business travels instead of lugging the bulky cradle and power adapter.

However, after just two uses, a portion of the plastic connector that seats into the Palm snapped off! Even before this happened, the connector just didn't seat tightly into the Palm (it had a lot of "wiggle room" such that if it wasn't seated just right, it wouldn't recharge or hot synch).

I do not recommend buying this product unless Palm redesigns it.
(BTW: I ended up buying the iConcepts USB HotSync and Charger, and it has been working fine for the past 6 months)

Summary: What a rip-off! It is not compatible with the zire
Review: I was extremely disappointed to find out that this recharger does NOT fit the Zire, despite the product description. It is useless to me.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: awkward fit
Review: I've had this for less than a month, and already one of the 2 metal contacts has broken off. I bought the cable after reading the reviews on the cradle, which said it was awkward to fit the Palm into the cradle and that the cable would work better. I find the cable fit is tenuous at best (even with both contacts), and the fact that I'm already going to have to get a new one (or a cradle instead) is not a good sign.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Easy to use ... works every time!
Review: I've had this item for about six months and have experienced no problems with it. I use it for syncing at the office, and it charges too. I have a Zire 71 and have no trouble with it seating. It doesn't 'lock in' like a wall plug, but then, it is not a wall plug! Set your PDA and the sync end on a flat surface and plug 'em together ... voila! Push the button, and it syncs. Leave it attached, and it charges. The car outlet connector is an added bonus, as you can charge you PDA while you drive. It accepts any USB connector, so it works with those USB cell phone sync/charge cables too. No muss, no fuss.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: weak product
Review: I've had this synch cable to about a month, and one of the plastic tabs that should help hold the Palm in place for hot synching broke off. So, now I have to hold my Palm against the cable connection. I flat surface for synching is highly recommended. Now, I'm looking for a new cradle that is more durable. I do like that it is portable, and can charge my Palm in a car or just through the USB cable.
