1.0 out of 5 stars Very bad design, May 8, 2002

This product is almost totally worthless. I had read some of the reviews, but thought the travel kit would be worth the price. The sync cable is very poorly designed. There is one adapter for sync and a separate one for charging. I've also tried the Belkin one, and at least it has a switch on the cable to go from sync to charge (bit it can't do both at the same time). The travel kit is also strangely designed. In order to change the plugs, you need to use this little wire device to push through a hole in the plug whenever you want to remove one plug and put in another. How much do you want to bet that the device will be the first thing lost or broken.
Buy the Gomadic cable instead of this one. The cable allows you to sync and charge at the same time (radical concept). ... They also have a travel kit if you need that.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great but inconvenient product, February 17, 2003

Sync-charger cable works fine with my laptop and docking station as well as my desktop. I love the overall concept. This is the only product I've found that gives you sync-charge capabilities plus wall, car, and international chargers all in a small package.

Unfortunately, when I plug the charging cable into the car or wall charger, I have 2 problems ...#1: When my iPAQ automatically shuts down due to inactivity, it can't be re-started using the on/off switch--I have to do a soft reset. #2: The clock stops functioning, so I have to manually set it to the correct time.

Tech support suspected a bad cord, so I received a new one...and it does the same thing.

This is the perfect solution for your ipaq. The hotsync cable works fine and charges my ipaq just fine regardless of previous review. Maybe he was doing something wrong. The car charger charges fine from both my cars. The travel Charger works fine and I travel worldwide and it even came with adapter plugs. Great price!!! My advice is its a great buy.
