PalmOne Power To Go

Summary: Worth its weight in gold!
Review: As a heavy Palm user, I've found PalmOne's Power To Go quite handy. When its attached, it 1) charges my Palm and 2) is still usable on any Palm keyboard. It can 3) also be charged in a cradle and 4) be synced while its linked. (Hey, that rhymes!) Its use is thus totally transparent.

The only thing that it won't do while attached is fit in my T3's hard case, which isn't a very big deal.

I use my Power To Go mainly at work. When I'm checking email or voice mail at my desk, I'll normally keep the Power To Go unit attached to my Palm - so that my T3 is always at its maximum charge in case I get pulled away to a long meeting (where I'll take notes using a keyboard with my PDA). When I'm gone, I'll leave the Power To Go unit in my cradle - to juice it back up!

But if I'm going to a meeting which I know will put unusually high demands on my Palm - then I'll take the Power To Go unit with me - so I never need to worry that my T3 will ever run out of gas.

The Power To Go sled attaches by grabbing on to slots on the back of every Palm (which I never knew were there), so the connection is very positive and one that will not let go accidentally.

The Power To Go unit also has a light which, when lit, tells you that its charging your Palm. So, if it should ever go out - then you'll know that you're running on your Palm's battery alone - and that its time to recharge the sled.

If you're a heavy Palm user like me, PalmOne's Power To Go will allow your Palm to always stay in the game! (I've never felt more helpless than to be in a meeting - with a dead Palm!) I highly recommend it!
