The Belkin usb charge/sync cable is pretty good too. It also come with a car adapter. The package costs $19.90 at circuit city.

Thanks for the info… I’m just glad I was not there to see your contortionist exercise!

Altema and Dreamer,

I was sent the Surplus PDA connector, marked for the Palm Zire 71, which…da da da dummmm – has a universal connector.

Altema, the connector fits perectly and snugly into the Tungsten T’s port, but Dreamer – it does have the high back on the plug that will prevent you from being able to use it in the Proporta/InnoPocket cases.

Sorry for any confusion my brain-fart may have caused…:o

I tried it out with the CLIE NZ90 (they didn’t send me a Palm Universal model), and found that it clipped very securely. Sorry Ii couldn’t tell you specifically about the T. :0/

That’s right, I forgot about the NZ being your main squeeze (after Steve, of course!)

Hi Judie, I know you are busy (or having fun) with your new device, but just had a quick question: Does this connecter connect firmly and lock in place on the T?

Only asking because I have a couple of Belkin charge/sync cables that either fall out or have to be held in place to work properly.

I don’t really need the charge function now that the T3 patch has improved the battery life, but I don’t want a poor hotsync connection either!

Dreamer,

I know what you mean about the extra long part that messes up case syncing, and this cable doesn’t have that.

Well, let me back-up a bit…the NZ90 cable doesn’t have it – but I can’t specifically say whether the Universal connector cable will or not. I hope not.

Is the connector the kind that will allow you to connect to a Tungsten T while inside a case (namely the Innopocket Metal Deluxe Case)

Most of the connectors have a back part that it too long to work with the cutout in the case. Though I do have one cable (out of the four different ones I bought) where it isn’t too long…and works quite well. Only I don’t remember where I got it, and I want another one for my laptop bag.

Make it retractable with interchangeable tips for use with more than one device and you can have my 35 bucks (if it is great maybe even $40)

Maybe I should register this idea

Any way if you create it, give me credit and send a sample

Great review as always Judie, when would be ready the Zodiac review?

Judie, both of your links seem to be pointing to Surplus, including the one for Brando.
