PDA Synchronize and Charge Cables
Because PDAs are portable devices, they are great resources on the
road, or in the office. Almost every PDA is sold with what is called
a ‘cradle’. This device serves two purposes, 1) To recharge the PDA
and 2) To synchronize information on the pda with a computer. As a
result, cradles have two cables, one that connects to an outlet for
supplying power, and the second that attaches to the computers USB
port to synchronize information. Cradles are great devices which can
keep a PDA at it’s peak effectiveness.
Unfortunately,
they tend to be bulky devices, unsuitable for transporting around with
a PDA. As a result, PDA users who find themselves on the road or in
the office, are faced with a difficult decision. “Do I carry my cradle
with me, do I buy a second one for the office/road, or do I orphan my
PDA when away from home?” Replacement cradles generally cost $40 or
more, almost 20% of the cost of the average PDA.
Thankfully, a
bright engineer realized that the very same USB port on your computer
which synchronizes information on your PDA, also is capable of
supplying power. This is how you can plug in a variety of computer
accessories like disk drives, etc., that can work without also being
plugged into the wall. From this revelation, it was an easy step to
creating a single cable, one that could provide both power and data to
a PDA simultaneously. |
Purchase a PDA
Sync/Charge Cable
For less than
half of the cost of a cradle, a Synchronize and Charge (also
affectionately called a Sync/Charge Cable) can provide all the
benefits of a cradle in just the size of a single cable. Inexpensive
and small, Sync/Charge cables are a must for anyone who travels with
their PDA.
As an added
bonus, there are adapters available which convert the USB end of a
Sync/Charge cable into either an automobile cigarette lighter adapter,
or a regular home wall outlet adapter. With these three components,
you can not only now synchronize your pda, but charge it with a
computer, in a car, or with a standard power outlet. All for less
than you could have bought just a simple cradle. Check the link for
our
Recommended Site, to get a
package that includes all three of these components for a single low
price.
