Rating: Summary: Good cable -- but no Hotsync button! Review: Great that you can charge and sync with a single cable. Great price -- because it isn't a Handspring genuine product, but there isn't a hard button to Hotsync you need to initiate it thru the Treo. If that isn't a problem then this a great product.
Rating: Summary: Good inexpensive traveling option for Treo family Review: I purchased this for my new Treo 600, and was happy to discover that it worked just fine. However, contrary to the last review I read, this does NOT have the dedicated button to initiate a hotsync. If you want that button, you can always pay...more and buy Handspring's version of this cable. I am happy to save that money and launch the Hotsync manually.

Rating: Summary: ALL Treo data lost - avoid this product Review: I will never purchase an iConcepts product again.I purchased this from Micro Center a couple of months ago, used it for the first time today. It seemed to fit all the particulars, as it would provide charging power through the USB connection, which is a better system that what the handspring USB hotsync cable provides. The original handspring cable requires you to lug the original charger around. I plugged this into the USB port on my PC (a Pentium III running Linux). The charging indicator on my handspring did not light up, so I reasoned that it should be plugged into my USB Hub (which has external power). After I plugged the handspring in, I was rewarded by a hard reset of my handspring, which caused ALL data to be lost. My theory is that something drained the battery, or shorted some pins together on the Treo. In any event, no accessory which causes data loss will ever receive a positive rating from me.
Rating: Summary: Hot Sync button is on the cord Review: This little cable is a great travel kit item or for a spare "office" sync-n-charge(tm) cable. Unlike the one reviewers comment there is (at least now) a light grey hotsync button on the Treo connector. Not much more to say, it is as advertised, works great, packs small, and allows charging and sync operations without the AC adapter having to tag along. About the only way to improve this would be to make it cheaper or package some free software with it (like a Mac OS X program to talk over the USB port to the Treo in "modem" mode;great for debugging treo programs; great for using the treo as a modem for the laptop).

Rating: Summary: Works well for me Review: This thing makes sense. One cord that syncs and charges. Great for travel. If you often near your computer, this is an inexpensive way to get a charger.
