Summary: Cheap and does all it's supposed to do.
Review: Nothing fancy here: just a simple serial cable, just like the Palm OEM (Palm M100 never came with a USB link!). True, it has no start button, but one is hardly needed: just click on the HotSync icon in the application to start the sync. Duh! (Whether your cable has a start button, like the Palm OEM, or not, like this one, you still must set the HotSync preferences to "Local" and "Direct Serial.") For putting up with this "deficit" you will save 2/3!

Summary: Beware vague and misleading feature description
Review: Nowhere in the item description does it mention that this cable has a female 9-pin serial adapter. It is not USB.The description CLAIMS compatibility with Mac OS 8.6 and above. But current Macs don't have 9-pin serial ports. The last Mac that had one was the Mac 512Ke, discontinued 16 years ago! But that model accepted 9-pin MALE connectors, and it certainly can't run Mac OS 8.6! Maybe this product works for PCs, but the description is at best misleading, and at worst, flat-out wrong.

Summary: How do you use it?
Review: Stupid thing doesn't have a button to start hotsync! I have to check the box to see if there are any instructions. I'll write another review if I can get it to work. I'll write a BAD review if I can't get a refund.
