2.0 out of 5 stars Only an USB cradle, no power supply., January 27, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Sony PEGA-UC55 USB Cradle for TJ, TG and SJ and SL series PDAs (Office Product)

This cradle is designed very simply (as a previuos reviewer said.), perhaps not deserving $30. However, for such an expensive and simply designed cradle, Sony does not even give the customer power supply function from USB port. So, if you are on travel, you need to bring another clumsy power adapter.

However, Belkin provided a type of USB Sync and charger which has the fuction to charge your PDA from the USB ports. After I saw this Belkin product, I bought one promptly.

After I got the Belkin USB Syn and Charger, the Sony USB is sleeping in my drawer now, Collecting Dust.

1.0 out of 5 stars No power cord included? An extra $23 for a power cord?, December 19, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Sony PEGA-UC55 USB Cradle for TJ, TG and SJ and SL series PDAs (Office Product)

You are kidding right? $55 bucks for a cradle with an AC power cord is rediculous. It seems to do the job, but come on!

This is a very simple cradle that you need for your PC. It is simple in design. Not like the palm cradles I have used in the past.

Insertion and removal seems easy!

If you have a desktop then this is eaiser then the adapter that comes with the TJ25. HOWEVER, you have to use the power supply to power the Clie. If you travel, you either have to purchase another power adapter or remember to pull the power cord.

Hmmm no wonder Sony offers a cheaper model. You have to purchase extra stuff.

Currently it is the only thing I found for a TJ25.
