PalmOne V Travel Kit

PalmOne V Travel Kit
  • Recharge and synchronize with 2 computers
  • Includes AC charger and HotSync cable
  • Includes adapters for UK, Europe, and Australia
  • Macintosh serial adapter sold separately
  • Compatible with Palm V and Palm Vx handhelds

This travel kit takes too much space. If you would like to connect your Palm V or Vx to two computers, I suggest you either buy another cradle, or pack your cradle. A cradle takes up as much space as this travel kit, and it's better. Remember you can also hot sync through the infrared port if you have a computer with an infrared port, but this drains the batteries a lot.

the sync cable is very low profile. the charger is separate so you can bring just the sync cable for short trips or the charger for longer trips (the tranformer adjusts to different voltage and comes with adapters plugs for use in other countries).

i find this kit very useful... more so than my cradle since this is more flexible in usage; i wish they would also sell the sync cable by itself. my biggest complaint (and yes, i agree it is more expensive than it should be) is that the sync cable connector (the piece that is inserted into the Palm) is exposed and does not come with a sleeve/protector.

This kit is worth the money. It is compact and stores easily in the bag included with the kit. In turn, the bag stores easily in a laptop briefcase. The instruction booklet leaves a little to be desired. But the product itself is much smaller than the cradle, and much easier to store. It is easy to use. The charger comes in handy, and the multiple adapters need be carried only for the countries in which one travels. Definitely worth the investment.

I recently went to Australia and completely forgot that I would have to charge my Palm. The voltage there is 220 and the plugs are definitely different. Sure enough, one of those little pieces that I kept in the bottom of the handy drawstring bag fit perfectly. Just when I was about to panic, I had all I needed. The power supply doesn't require that you get a *transformer* as well as a converter. So that's a big plus.

I made a lot of short trips and all I need is the HotSync cable (I am back before running out of battery). The recharger unit is just doubling the cost for me. If I need both, then I would rather have the cradle with charger.
