Works well for anything that charges from your computer
User: Earle Lloyd, Jul 22, 2007
Pros:
Very convenient. I dont have to carry two chargers
Cons:
USB plug would be better from the side not the top
I have had mine for a few months now and find that it charges all of my accessories that charge from the USB port on my computer. Of course I bought a sync & charge cable for my TREO because the description does not say it comes with one and the pictures clearly show that one is not included. The USB cable sometimes hits another plug if there is one in the other electrical plug. Would work better if it came out of the side. Not a major flaw but a minor inconvenience.I am purchasing another one to give to a friend.
Un Buen producto Pero......

Es un buen producto, hace lo que dice que debe hacer, con el respectivo cable de carga o sincronizacion. Funciona en la conexion del Encendor del Auto en 110V, Pero... En 220V... NO FUNCIONA (NO CARGA), se enciende la luz verde al conectar al enchufe de la Pared, pero cuando se conecta a la palm, no pasa nada , o sea que no carga.
Bad Product
User: Greg Simmons, Aug 29, 2007
Pros:
Small Form Factor
Cons:
It does not supply enough current in AC mode
I ordered and returned two of these units since they do not put out enough current to charge a Treo. The Treo would beep constantly as it went in and out of "charge" mode. Dont waste your money unless they come out with a new version that works....
be sure to order the cable

The output on this car charger is USB. You have to buy a special cable adapter that goes from USB to Treo in order to use it. Apparently this cable is ONLY available from Treo Central, because I went to Radio Shack, The Sprint Store, and Wireless World today and none of them had an adapter cable that would work.
Works Well or Requires?
User: Andy Frueh, Jan 18, 2007
The original description of the product, posted when I made my purchase, did not mention that you MUST buy or have an additional product before this would work. The site only mentions it "works very well with" S&C cables. "Works very well" is very different from "requires"...NOTHING on the page explicitly says "such-and-such add on is required to use this product."
Customer service tried to tell me otherwise (as if there's no difference between "I work well with oxygen" or "I require oxygen") and that the picture of a USB port should have told me that the product requires a cable.
Sorry...my laptop has a USB port but it doesn't require a USB cable for me to use the laptop. An empty port doesn't signify that something else is REQUIRED...only that you can plug something in it.
It should be stated very clearly what you need to use a particular product. This description (quoted below in case they change it) clearly says it is a "COMPLETE charging solution" (my emphasis on "complete") when it is so clearly NOT complete.
Customer service basically gave me a "so what" attitude.
