A near-necessity for using the Jornada 545 with Windows NT,
By Phaedrus (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hewlett Packard Jornada 520 and 540 Series Serial Cradle (Office Product)
If your desktop machine is running Windows NT (as opposed to Windows 95/98 or 2000), you'll find that the USB cradle provided with the 545 isn't compatible with NT. Or maybe you're like me, and want to synchronize your data with an NT machine at the office as well as with a 95/98 machine at home. In either case, you'll find this serial cradle to be much more convenient than the serial cable included with the Jornada.A couple of important notes: First, remember that the Jornada cradles do not include an AC adapter; so if you're ordering this as a cradle for a second computer, you'll want to order a second AC adapter as well. And second, make sure to go to the Ports control panel in NT and raise your serial port's speed, as described in the Jornada documentation; if you leave the serial port at the default 9600 bps, you can go eat a light lunch in the time it takes a fully-loaded Jornada to do a full sync. :) (Syncing with a serial connection is always much slower than using a USB connection; but with the serial port speed raised to 57600, the speed is at least tolerable.)

This review is from: Hewlett Packard Jornada 520 and 540 Series Serial Cradle (Office Product)
I also own a Palm Pilot with cradle so I didn't have great expectations for the HP cradle. I was delighted to see that the HP cradle was heavier, better built, and adds a power plug as a bonus. When I sit this down and use it, it doesn't slide about my desk because of the steel base and rubber feet. I am very happy with this cradle.

Amazon Vs the Cradle,
By Harry (Laguna Niguel, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hewlett Packard Jornada 520 and 540 Series Serial Cradle (Office Product)
The problem here...not...enough information to allow customers to know what they are purcahsing. There are two types of cradles, a serial cradle and a USB cradle. When one clicks for the additional technical details, the screen comes up empty. What Amazon is shipping is the serial cradle. The USB cradle is what is shipped with the Jornada 548. The USB cradle works very well and is a great tool when one is in their office. It is a little heavy and bulky for traveling in a brief case. A second cradle for home is nice.
