Clip locks better easier to maintain connection than the belkin hot sync cable i bought a few years earlier. this eforcity cable does not have car lighter charger adaptor that belkin comes with, that i rarely use anyway

Now I can leave the cradle at home and hotsync at the office, as well as keeping the battery charged all the time. The connector fits perfectly into the m515. Excellent product (especially at this price).

I was having problems getting my Palm device to lock into place in Palm's own desktop cradle. The connector on this cable snaps onto the bottom of my Palm Computer with authority. Wish this company made a desktop cradle too, but this cable works exactly as it should for what it is. Being able to charge the device without having to use a wall wart is an extra bonus!

I bought this for my Tungsten 3, with the idea that, when traveling, I wouldn't have to take the big heavy charge sync that came with it. This is smaller and much lighter.

Good news is that it works to power off my computer.

Bad news is that the sync part is problematic.

It took two tries to get the sync done.
The first time it got hung up on the "calendar" sync. I had to cancel it.

Then it did it. BUT, it wiped out my calendar catageories that I had created. Took it back to the basic set up categories, personal, business.

Did not even ask me if I wanted this to happen.
I am not pleased. I have years of category data on the Palm that has been wiped out.

This cable works well for my Palm Tungsten T3. It's a nice change from the bulky cradle and AC adapter that came with the T3. It works fine on the T3, although there is no reassuring *click* when it is attached.

I highly recommend replacing the battery in your T3 and getting a screen protector. I'm happy with this inexpensive set:
1100mAh Li-Polymer Rechargeable Internal Replacement Battery for Palm T3 / M550 PDA + Screwdriver and Installation Manual + HQRP PDA Screen Protector

I carry my T3 around in this case. It works pretty well:
Fellowes DSU1HZBBP Neoprene Universal Pda Case

I use a 1GB SD card with my T3. The T3 can read 2GB cards but can't write them.
Transcend 1 GB SD Flash Memory Card TS1GSDC

When away from home, I needed a connection to recharge my Palm Zire 71. This is just what I needed to get the job done. There is another component I bought to accept the USB plug (also from Amazon) or you can plug it into your laptop USB port.

Just when you think that you will have to trash your old PALM T-2 because your connection cable is fried...you find someone who still sells them...and for $7 ! Excellent service, good quality cable. Saves me a bunch by not buying a new pocket calendar.

It works great, I got it sooner than I expected. The quality of the product is nice.

This is a nice, inexpensive cable. It works great for charging my palm.

Unfortunately, I have constant problems trying to hotsync my palm using this cable. Something in the data connections is just not quite solid. Most times it takes me 5 or 6 tries to sync my palm, each time trying to apply slight pressure and adjust the connection to the palm just right so it will make a good contact and actually sync the data.

This is the only cable of this brand I've ever used, so I'm not sure if this is an abnormal problem or not.

The Device worked well, however the software required to sync to the PC was not included.
