I have tried a Etrex Vista, Sportmap, and a Gekko but I bought a Garmin 72. I like the 72 for use on my kayak where I can use the large screen to see my speed three feet away. This unit has been put through the ringer and it just keeps working. I don't miss the mapping at all.

Have used the GPS72 now for 4 months. It has been a pleasure to use. The Garmin operating system is is easy to follow and the prompts make it unnecessary to carry the manual to use all of the features. So far it is waterproof as advertised as it lives in my canoes and while not fully submerged is subject to splash and spray every time it is out. Approximately 66 hours of use to data and am totally happy.

i had no problems with the seller or the item

My Palm m100 came with the hot sync cable, which does what it is supposed to do must of the time (it usually takes 3-4 tries to get it to sync with my Palm and PC). This cradle is much easier to use and I wish I didn't have to but it separately. I just stand my Palm in the cradle, press the button and let it work its magic. It is also a great place to keep my Palm without having to worry about it falling off the desk.

I would recommend getting this if your Palm doesn't come with one. For me, at least, it has just been much easier to use.

If you have a 'busy' desk like I do, I used a 2-sided adhesive to keep the cradle in place.

Users of the Palm 100 would undoubtedly benefit from the easy to use m100 cradle. Instead of hooking up wires to the PDA, and running it in a "loose" mode while performing the necessary HotSync-ing, you simply place the m100 in the cradle and push the button to have it all done for you. Of course, in the box you got a cable to attach to your computer, but with this you now can update your computers at home and work without lugging around your cable.

I have a HP Omnibook 4150 and jornada 560, I do hate traveling with the original charger and cradle, I was excited finding a single lightweight cable that do both functions, but before I purchase it, I read all the customer reviews and I found strange the Amazon's...product review explaining that the cable simply does not work until he received two more from iConcepts support with different configurations. Any way I decided to buy it and guess what?... it charges the PDA but does not sync!, it is recognized when it is plugged between PC and PDA but just in the minute you expect to see files synchronizing it appears a "No connected" window.
Due to [the] review I thought that maybe one cable was maybe making shortcut or that one connector cable was swapped... I tested both the cable and the original hp cradle with a "multimeter" expecting to find something different but unfortunately both were exactly the same!. I have access to the HP Jornada's support center technicians and they can't find an answer to what's happening. I tried with another jornada and friend's PC (expecting that mine were having a problem) but it made the same error. There are two things that I believe are happening:
1) The cable can't support the bandwidth required to do sync.
2) The connector pins are slightly shorter that the hp cradle so maybe one of those are not making contact with the PDA.

...the solution was different!, I noticed that the USB connector in the plastic part was thicker than others, that avoid the cable to go all the way in, causing the "no conection messagge" so I handmade cut the plastic connector of the USB side, in order to the metallic conector and pins are longer like 1/8 inch and the cable works excelent!!! thats why I give 4 stars.

This cable is a great portable alternative to the hot-sync cradle that comes with the Jornada, which tends to be bulky and difficult to carry. And while it functions just like the cradle, it allows you to charge your PDA directly from the computer/lap-top's USB port.

However, there is one shortcoming. Obviously, the level of power that the USB port provides is much less than that of a regular wall outlet. Consequently, charging time is greatly increased. because of this, I would only recommend the cable for travel when you can't bring the hotsync along.

After reading some reviews I was concerned that this product would not work as advertised, but I am here to tell you that this product works very well!

The SECOND time I removed the iPAQ from the case the Velcro stuck to the case and would not stick to the iPAQ again. What do you do then? Without Velcro, the case does not serve its purpose - or the hand held bounces around inside. I have contacted Sumdex, but have not heard from them yet. Velcro is great but....

I have a URThere @migo, and this case fits it perfectly. It's still small enough to slip in my pocket, plus now there's a handy belt clip when I need it. Velcro rocks.

The size of this case is perfect, just slightly bigger than the Zaurus, and it provides good access to the keyboard and the CF/SD slots. With the belt strap, it is quite convenient to carry, and I can also fit my Targus CF Modem into the case. The Zaurus attaches within this case with velcro. So it is removable, and even with the velcro on the back of the Zaurus, it fits into its cradle just fine.

Incredible, a modem that is so small and working faster than a PC modem (even if the Baud rate does not reflect this).
However, the "Browse It" web browser is not functioning anymore so you have to find another web browser. Luckily, "Avant Go" and "Eudora" both offer free options for this.
Up to now (March 2002) this modem has official approval only in a few countries, e.g. the US, but it appears to be working very well also in Guatemala and the Netherlands.
In my experience the support service took a long time to respond but their answer was adequate.

An excellent product, but as stated in the review above, the software that was included did not work. This was easily fixed --- go to Eudora.com, and use their FREE software. The PDA works as good as a laptop for email and nearly as good for web browsing.

I am addicted to e-mail! I admit it! So when I go out of town or if I am on the go...I NEED TO CHECK MY E-MAIL! This card was easy to install and all I had to do was follow the simple step by step on screen instructions. I also downloaded software from my provider that was immediately installed during my next hot sync. I don't browse the internet on this...haven't tried either. But I have used it to gain access to email and instant messaging. I highly recommend this if you are like me..and have to stay connected.

The backup works great. Getting to the backup software is not ther easiest.

Easy enough to use. The fact that this product comes with NO user manual whatsoever is a testament to that.

Although there ARE cheaper backup solutions to your Palm, the only one I can think of at the top of my head being using a normal expansion card and specific software like BackupMan or BackupBuddyVFS ($10 to $15 compared to this product for $40 - $50), this product still has >some< practicality.

Many people consider a backup card for Palm PDAs for the case that BOTH their PC AND Palm dies on them. Here are some things to consider:
-If you have only one expansion card and you lose it with your PDA, you just lost all info on your handheld and card. In the rare case that you lose info backed to your PC, you're out of luck
-hearing as how software only backup solutions work well, it may be worth your while to pursue a better deal if u can on this.

When my Palm 515 stopped sync'ing with everything (serial, USB, and infrared), I bought this as a last chance to save my data. Plug and Play! Worked beautifully. Pops up offering either Backup or Restore. Select backup and off it goes. Backed up everything including the apps. Now to get the Palm repaired. Oh to be without my Palm for weeks. Arrrgh....

I loved this charger, until I found that, over time, it had pushed apart the plastic frame of my IIIc so that the charger contacts would no longer work, either on the travel charger or the original hotsync module. Palm.com said they could fix it--upon payment of the hefty out-of-warranty repair charge. I'm looking into Handsprings now . . . ;-)

well, i'd love to comment on it but i cannot seem to get it from the seller. DO NOT BUY FROM JULDY2000!! never reimbursed for wrong product sent (even after I sent the wrong one back). so, my sister has this and she LOVES it...just be careful who you buy from please!!!

The service was Great. Item came as was promise, and in sealed
box. Thank you for the good customer service. I'll do business
with you anytime.

Overall, it is a good quality leather case. However, it could be bigger in order to hold the Palm better. When you fasten it, it looks sort of bulky.

Sleek and stylish though. And, I got a good price!!

i bought this little case for my visor delux about a year ago but it was a little small for the delux. However i kept it around any way just in case some one else needed one. low and behold when i got my treo 90 about a month ago i dug this little deal up and it fits perfectly with the smaller treo 90. It also has space for the memory cards and credit cards and money and such. the case is extremely functional and i gurantee you'll get some excellent use out of this pda case. aside from the fact that it's suede and a little difficult to keep clean(or maybe i'm just a dusty guy) i would highly recomend this little case. a little trick for the masses. if your like me and you don't want to apply those velcro sticky things directly to your pda i suggest taking one of the clear over lay screen protectors, stick that to the back of your pda and then stick the velcro to the over lay. the over lays always come off clean and you don't have to worry about sticking those velcro tabs to a $300.00 pda.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I have been looking for a case that was different and reasonably priced. The manufacture (Targus) says it is for the Palm III Series, but my Palm IIIc fit perfectly! The case is beautifully made and it looks like I paid 50.00 for it and not 19.99.

I'm in the military, and they won't let me sync my PocketPC to a computer since it wasn't issued to me. My only option to download books and software is to actually login with my user account. Wireless access would be bad for opsec, so being tethered to a cat5 cable is the only real way to get access.

The toshiba has it's built in WiFi, but that is only good when an access point is available. A few changes to the 'connections' settings and the Ethernet CompactFlash card is up and running. The provided driver adds extra functionality, and installation was easy. The documentation is a little 'thin' but told me what I needed to know to get the card working on the work network. Wireless is the way to go, but when there are no access points around, this card fills the need.

I spend about 100 nights a year in Marriott hotels. They all have DSL. This card lets me download ebooks and stuff in my hotel room, as well as via my cable modem at home.
