I travel a lot and am always looking to minimize the load. Though I was interested, I was also skeptical as to the value of this product...However, I was pleasantly surprised!

I have shelved my Palm Travel Pack. This unit is awesome. It doesn't matter where I am, If my Vx gets low on Juice, I can slip it into the BattPac and continue working. And since it runs on AA batteries, which I can get anywhere in the world, I don't have to switch back and forth with my laptops foriegn plug adapter to charge my Palm Vx.

I also like the small compact hotsync cable that is included...if only it were USB instead of serial, life would be that much better.

Regardless, this is a VERY worthwile purchase!

I was excited about this product when i first saw it because i needed another cradle and i wanted to take my palm on the road. I though the idea of using batteries to power the Palm Vx was great. I got the BattPac and started using it. At first it worked great. After two sets of batteries the batteries started falling out becuase the clips holding them in are made of very thin metal that bends beneath the weight of the battery. Then the clip on the battery cover cracked off. ...

I would hope that... the product would be of much higher quality.

This is going to make my life so much easier. I had been taking my recharger/cradle to and from the office every day to synch/charge at home, and this nifty accessory now solves that problem.

Furthermore, I do a lot of international travel and was worried about recharging/synching my Palm while on the road and also avoiding dangerous fluctuations in voltage that could fry the unit. Requiring only 2 AA batteries (available everywhere), I now never have to worry about running out of juice.

For those who travel, this is a must!

I've seen friends carry around their palms, and I've considered obtaining one of these toys along with the battery charger. It seems more cost efficient to simply order one of these in preference to buying an endless supply of batteries.
