RE: Not for Palm?
I'm assuming this can charge anything that you can plug a usb cable into. I'll have to get a review unit to find out for sure.

RE: Not for Palm?
I looked on the site but didn't see a mention of anything other than PPCs. I probably just overlooked it in a frenzied senior moment.(sigh)

RE: Not for Palm?
-- you read too fast. But I don't see their Compatibility List. I'd like to know exactly which models can use this.
RE: Not for Palm?
*Compatible chart currently under construction, will be available shortly.
I read too fast too
HOLY COW!!! That'd give me enough juice to use the TE for a full day!!
Mmmm battery life.
Nah might be more useful for my girlfriend and her Zire 72, with I believe a 900mAh battery? wow this'll give her 8 times more staying power... 5 hours + 40 hours of mp3 playing time. Pretty cool stuff. :) That was the only complaint about my former Tungsten T, the god awful battery life. Power-To-Go was useful, keyword was, now the UC is gone. So this battery pack pretty much works with absolutely everything.
$125 street?
RE: $125 street?
Out of curiousity, how does it compare to power-to-go in terms of capacity and size?

RE: PTG vs Socket?
And how exactly does this work? palmOne markets it as a recharger. If you leave it attached all the time, which drains first: the PTG sled or the T3 internal battery? And then how long does it take to recharge the PTG?
RE: PTG vs Socket?
I know it was marketted as a recharger, but I mostly use it as an external battery. Whenever I know that I'm doing anything fairly battery intensive like using VeriChat while playing an mp3 and writing something, I just atttact the ptg sled and I dont need to worry about my battery. The ptg sled drains first. After an hour of heavy use, the ptg will go down to yellow, but the regular battery will be at 100% when attatched.
I've found it takes around an hour to fully charge the ptg sled, I havn't timed it, but that's my best estimate.

I also get about a factor of three with the PTG. Two of them gets me US to Tokyo with pretty much continuose use of my T3 with a keyboard attached and MP3s going.

Not for Palm?
If so, why the post on PIC?
Looks like a neat device!
