Summary: Hot sync cable does not work
Review: Like the other user, the hotsync cable does not work. Windows XP does not recognize my IPaq when connected with the hotsync cable, but no problem with the Compaq supplied cable. There is nothing to 'do wrong' as another reviewer suggests.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Great but inconvenient product
Review: Sync-charger cable works fine with my laptop and docking station as well as my desktop. I love the overall concept. This is the only product I've found that gives you sync-charge capabilities plus wall, car, and international chargers all in a small package.

Unfortunately, when I plug the charging cable into the car or wall charger, I have 2 problems ...#1: When my iPAQ automatically shuts down due to inactivity, it can't be re-started using the on/off switch--I have to do a soft reset. #2: The clock stops functioning, so I have to manually set it to the correct time.

Tech support suspected a bad cord, so I received a new one...and it does the same thing.

Summary: Great Product Works Fine
Review: This is the best all in one solution. It came with a Sync and charge cable which seemed to work fine for me(I have been using it for over a month). It also came with the Travel charger which also works fine and charges pretty quick, I do alot of Worlwide traveling and it even came with adapter plugs. Finally I keep the car charger it my car and on the way home from work I charge my ipaq and it gives me a full charge in less than a hour. All in all this is the best kit out there for the price and convenience. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Summary: Great Product!! Works just as advertised!!!
Review: This is the perfect solution for your ipaq. The hotsync cable works fine and charges my ipaq just fine regardless of previous review. Maybe he was doing something wrong. The car charger charges fine from both my cars. The travel Charger works fine and I travel worldwide and it even came with adapter plugs. Great price!!! My advice is its a great buy.

Summary: A nice package for charging, but the data sync doesn't work
Review: This package of tools could be one of the best, all-around charging and sync solutions, however I cannot get the data sync cable to work. Under both Windows Me and Windows 2000, the PC side fails to recognize the iPAQ device attached via the USB cable. In both operating environments, I have no problem using the Compaq supplied cradle, attached via USB.

Worst of all, the Travel Kit comes with no instructions, no drivers or other software, and no references regarding how to get support from the manufacturer. Through some web searching, I believe that I have located the mfg., but the web site doesn't specifically offer any information about this item. I have sent emails hoping to get some answers, but, for now, this has been far more frustrating that it should be.

Summary: Great Product Works Fine
Review: This product is almost totally worthless. I had read some of the reviews, but thought the travel kit would be worth the price. The sync cable is very poorly designed. There is one adapter for sync and a separate one for charging. I've also tried the Belkin one, and at least it has a switch on the cable to go from sync to charge (bit it can't do both at the same time). The travel kit is also strangely designed. In order to change the plugs, you need to use this little wire device to push through a hole in the plug whenever you want to remove one plug and put in another. How much do you want to bet that the device will be the first thing lost or broken.
Buy the Gomadic cable instead of this one. The cable allows you to sync and charge at the same time (radical concept). ... They also have a travel kit if you need that.
