Some reviewers got frustrated because this cord doesn't have the little Hotsync button, as the stock cord does. This is not a problem for me because you can always simply turn on your Palm, go to the home screen, and tap the Hotsync button on the Palm screen. I wonder if people didn't know this or just hated the two extra steps.

Anyway, I love that this cord also charges the Palm, which my stock cord didn't do. Before I got this cord my Palm was always running out of charge. Now that syncing and charging are the same step, it's never happened. I would have been happy with it for $10 including shipping, but it was actually $3 or something.

There is no hotsync button. Still, it works and ,unlike the palm product, it will charge your phone through the usb cable. To hotsync you will need to pull up the Hotsync program on the palm device and tap the icon on the screen.

I was tired of fighting with the hot sync cables in which you had better have an extra outlet just so that if you do connect you'll still be able to charge the unit while transferring files. With the new cable it's a lot easier to keep up with considering it charges and connects to the USB Port, not to mention but I was a little skeptical at first considering that now days you can't buy a drink and a candy-bar for what I paid for not one cable but two. I would recommend this item to anyone... The quality is the first thing I look at and then of course price, I think for argument sake most would agree to pay more for something that will out last, perform, and simplify. In this case, the price was too good to be true, I'm glad I made the investment.

As simple as this: it is working and cheap. Defiantly it is worth the price that you will pay.

It is well worth the money even if you just use it as a charger.

HotSync work fine even though it does not a button, which is not much of a problem.

I bought this cable because my original one (which has sync button on it) can not charge my palm tx without computer, I got it quick and it works perfect.

The price is great, the cable looks great too, I love it and definitely very happy with this shop. Actually I intent to buy a battery replacement for palm tx but did not find it, so have to go somewhere else.

This works great for charging & hotsyncing my TX to my computer & at this price I bought several As the plastic that helps hold it in place break with lots of use.

Works exactly as it should - charges the TX but it does not have a sync button.
Syncing has to be done by opening up the Hotsync application so it is not really a problem - just not as convenient as having the button to press for syncing that is incorporated with the original USB lead.

Does what it says and for a great price. Works fine on my Palm TX.

I bought this product not knowing for sure if it would work because it seemed to fit so many products. It worked but barely. I'm not sure if the one I got was supposed to missing a connection, or if there is something with the used Palm TX I got, but it took some fenagaling to get the two to recognize each other. They did work eventually and it seems to do the trick. I'll have to see if it's that difficult the next time I have to charge my palm.
