VERY FRAGILE! [Posted on 2006-08-04]
I bought this cable. My first peeve was that it was shorter than the original Palm Hotsync cable, but my major issue is that a few weeks of use were enough to break one of the little tabs that holds the contacts firmly in place, so WATCH OUT, and treat this cable nicely. I like the retracting cable concept, but was disappointed in how easily it got damaged.
I love this cable [Posted on 2007-01-08]
Use it every day, it's a nice connector that does just what it says it does. As with all Treo/Palm connectors, you need to make sure the contacts are clean to get a good connection. Wiggling the connector where it meets the Treo is usually enough for it to work for me.
pretty good [Posted on 2007-01-11]
i bought this for my tungsten e2 since it comes with two separate cables to charge and to hotsync (an idiot design if you ask me), and that area near my computer was becoming plagued with wires and more wires. and to buy a cradle which used to come with the palms was an extra $30-40! so i bought this little thing which keeps things incredibly neat, and you just need this plugged into your computer to do both jobs of charging and hotsyncing. the reason why it got only 4 stars is b/c when i first tried it, my computer said that it didn't recognize the usb device. i searched everywhere for a technical answer as to why. it turns out that the connection was just a little loose and it just needed to be pushed into the e2 more. so the connector part could be a little sturdier, that's all.
DO NOT BUY - WILL NOT LAST [Posted on 2007-03-28]
I know from experience. I have owned every brand of this type of cable over the years. I think one company makes them all. They will NOT last. The cable will develop a bare spot near the device connector end and short itself out. For some reason, it only happens with the Palm-type cables. My iPod and USB retractable cables have lasted. Perhaps one just ends up using the Palm device cables more for hot-synching and/or charging daily.

Functional and Convenient [Posted on 2007-08-23]
I have only had this cable for about two months so have not noticed any of the 'wear and tear' on the cable line as mentioned in other reviews. The cable has functioned great for me.
It is also in a nice convenient, compact size that allows me to carry it with me to the office and on the road. If it continues to perform as it has been I would say this is a great buy for those on the go.
