As a USB hotsync cable is pretty good. I haven't any issue about doing hotsync with my Visor. It works with Visor prism also. It's an easy way to perform a hotsync at work leaving the craddle at home.

Although the description says this cable works with all Visor handhelds, the cable does not fit the HotSync port on the Visor Edge. It's a different size. I found this out the hard way.

This cable's perfect for syncing to your laptop while on the road. It's not too long, so it packs real well in my already crammed Powerbook carrying case. Especially for the price, it's indespensible for keeping your PDA & Laptop in sync while on extended road trips.

I have an older 8MB Handspring that came with a USB hotsync cradle. I forgot to put the baby-gate back up to prevent my rabbit from getting into my office and before I could catch him, he whisked by the cable to my cradle and it was neatly severed in half.

I went to different computer stores that sold my model of Handspring a few years ago, and none of them could help me... I was stuck w/o synching capabilities... curse my bunny!

I was extremely happy to see that Amazon carried this Belkin sync cable. It's better than the cradle because it takes up almost no room on the desktop and can easily be folded away when not in use. Also a great asset to have if you travel and don't want your cradle to get crushed in transit.

Works like a charm!

Don't make the same mistake I made. This is not serial cable, but a USB cable. It doesn't do me any good on my office computer running WinNT 4.0.

Besides, it's not even a very good USB cable. I thought about keeping it to HotSync my Visor at home without taking it out of the wallet. Too bad it's suitable for laptop use only. If you're USB port is on the back of your box, this cable is barely long enough to reach around. Sorry, ... but this is on it's way back.
