Summary: Nice to have an extra to sync at work, but overpriced.
Review: I bought the extra cradle so I could sync at home and at work, and this does the job for that. However, the price is too high... more than other manufacturers cradles cost. And this one is smaller and flimsier than all of them. Only positive thing is that it does come the AC cord, so that gives you two that you can take with you on a trip for charging.

Summary: Sony Cradle vs. iConcept USB Sync Cord
Review: I wanted to amend an inaccuracy in my review below for the Sony USB Cradle. I mentioned -- erroneously -- that the iConcepts USB Sync Cable does not work since it doesn't have a hot sync button. I just learned that its possible to sync my Clie via the Hot Sync icon in my program menu, and the iConcepts USB Sync Cable works just fine!

Summary: A Sync Cord and Charger - Separately or Together! Cool!
Review: Leave it up to Sony to come up with a better sync cradle, bravo! For the Clie 760c, the cradle (for syncing) and the AC adapter (for charging) can be used -- together or separately -- which makes them quite versatile.The flexibility is accomplished by fitting each piece with its own adapter plug -- so that either can be attached directly to the PDA. (The back of the cradle also accepts the charger's plug so that the two units can be used together.) When combined, the two operate as a normal desktop charge-up-your-PDA type sync cradle. But when used separately -- as I do -- the sync cradle makes for a great portable sync cord (which I carry with my laptop, no AC plug-in required, thank you very much!); and I use the power cord to recharge my Clie overnight -- in any room of my house (since, as a power cord only, attaching it to my PC isn't necessary, hooray!). Since I had a bad experience buying a non-Sony (iConcepts) sync cable (that had no sync button, get that!, making data transfer impossible), its nice to know that I can still obtain both functions -- charger and sync cord -- by buying just one Sony-made cradle for my Clie. Cool!

Summary: An extra cradle makes all the difference
Review: This is the same cradle that comes with the Clie, so the real value of this unit is as an extra. There are two major uses that I've found for this unit. First, as an extra for my work computer, so I can just drop my clie in the charger and do a backup sync. That's especially useful when I've been listening to MP3 files. Second, as just the detachable power cord which allows me to use this as a travel unit, and keep the Clie powered. I found the price to be reasonable, considering the fact that it's a model and manufacturer specific interface. Works great out of the box, no complications, and has quickly become part of my technology toolbox.
