Nice to have an extra to sync at work, but overpriced. [Posted on 2002-02-10]
I bought the extra cradle so I could sync at home and at work, and this does the job for that. However, the price is too high... more than other manufacturers cradles cost. And this one is smaller and flimsier than all of them. Only positive thing is that it does come the AC cord, so that gives you two that you can take with you on a trip for charging.
A Sync Cord and Charger - Separately or Together! Cool! [Posted on 2002-03-17]
Leave it up to Sony to come up with a better sync cradle, bravo! For the Clie 760c, the cradle (for syncing) and the AC adapter (for charging) can be used -- together or separately -- which makes them quite versatile. The flexibility is accomplished by fitting each piece with its own adapter plug -- so that either can be attached directly to the PDA. (The back of the cradle also accepts the charger's plug so that the two units can be used together.) When combined, the two operate as a normal desktop charge-up-your-PDA type sync cradle. But when used separately -- as I do -- the sync cradle makes for a great portable sync cord (which I carry with my laptop, no AC plug-in required, thank you very much!); and I use the power cord to recharge my Clie overnight -- in any room of my house (since, as a power cord only, attaching it to my PC isn't necessary, hooray!). Since I had a bad experience buying a non-Sony (iConcepts) sync cable (that had no sync button, get that!, making data transfer impossible), its nice to know that I can still obtain both functions -- charger and sync cord -- by buying just one Sony-made cradle for my Clie. Cool!
Sony Cradle vs. iConcept USB Sync Cord [Posted on 2002-03-19]
I wanted to amend an inaccuracy in my review below for the Sony USB Cradle. I mentioned -- erroneously -- that the iConcepts USB Sync Cable does not work since it doesn't have a hot sync button. I just learned that its possible to sync my Clie via the Hot Sync icon in my program menu, and the iConcepts USB Sync Cable works just fine!
