nice idea, but not well implemented
It sounds really nice to be able to recharge your iPAQ with a USB cable, but in reality it's not that simple. Take a look at the sticker on the power supply (recharging cable) that came with your iPAQ--it puts out 2 amps of electricity. Most USB ports are only set up to handle .5 amps per port, so in order for this cable to properly recharge your iPAQ you have to plug...

It sounds really nice to be able to recharge your iPAQ with a USB cable, but in reality it's not that simple. Take a look at the sticker on the power supply (recharging cable) that came with your iPAQ--it puts out 2 amps of electricity. Most USB ports are only set up to handle .5 amps per port, so in order for this cable to properly recharge your iPAQ you have to plug this cable into an externally-powered USB hub, otherwise there just isn't enough juice for it to work. You will be sorely disappointed is your try charge your iPAQ with this cable hooked up to anything else (laptop USB, internal USB port, etc...)

Not enough attention to detail,

The concept is attractive: charge your iPaq using the USB port on your notebook computer.On my Toshiba Tecra 9000, there's not enough power output from the USB port to charge the iPaq 3650. Worse, Windows 2000 keeps thinking the cable is a Toshiba Wireless LAN adapter and tries to install drivers for it. The plug for the iPaq isn't well designed: it's too large, tempting the user to use excessive force attaching the cable.

I bought one of these because I have two cradles, one at work & one at home. Sounded like a nice idea. However, it only charges if the PC is on, even if the USB Hub is self-powered.I use the power adapter that came with the my Compaq at work (where I need the juice) and use this gadget at home. So, it has worked out ok so far. Buyer beware of this limitation.
