Sync-n-charge solutions for the Zire 72
This is the first retractable sync-n-charge cable we have encountered for the palmOne Zire 72 that measures 35″ fully extended. Palm Zire 72 JAVOSync, $14.95.
Extended cable lengths are usually overlooked while purchasing such items. This can turn out to be a costly mistake if you intend to use them primarily with PCs, for lots of them do not have a decent length to reach from your desktop to the CPU. If you need longer lengths, the best bets are usually non-retractables such as the Brando WorkShop SyncDicator Cable, $17 which has a good 56.5″ length - according to the review of a similar cable from Brando Workshop by The Gadgeteer. The review also mentions another similar but slightly longer 65″ cable from Surplus PDA; Palm Zire 72 USB Sync & Charge Cable with Charge On/Off, $16.99.
Also worth considering would be the USB Travel Charger which enables you to charge your PDA off a wall power socket with any USB sync-n-charge cable. JavoCharger, $13.95.
