3.0 out of 5 stars Does what it's supposed to do, but there is a better option, January 23, 2001

There really isn't too much to say about the cradle. Drop in the Palm, hit the button and it syncs. However, save yourself a few dollars and buy the serial cable instead. It is cheaper, more portable, and most importantly for me, easier to plug into my Palm because I keep it secured in a carrying case.

1.0 out of 5 stars Practically useless, July 19, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: PalmOne III & VII HotSync Cradle (Office Product)

Don't expect a USB cable on this cradle. This cradle is just like the one that came with the Palm IIIx, and that's fine if you haven't upgraded your computer in years, but who has serial ports on their machines these days? To use this cradle you have to buy an adapter and install a driver to run it, and for an old PDA it hardly seems worth the trouble. For the time and energy you spend doing that, you're better off just upgrading your PDA.

This is definitely the way to go if you want to keep an officecomputer and home computer in sync. Just get the extra cradle and use your Palm as the go-between. Amazon definitely has the best price I've found on this - most places sell at retail.
