They're available from 3rd party vendors. Do a search. This is the Palm way -> they rely on 3rd party vendors and prefer to not put them out of business. It's how the IBM PC took off. It was a peice of crap compared to the Apple, but the 3rd party guys patched it up and created a economy around it.

Palm has never gone very far with making HotSync cables available for their handhelds. Even the ones they do make are hard to come by. They are easy to get from third party manufacturers though.

Palm is sleeping & deep frozen
Do you really expect Palm has the power to do bluetooth in a couple of weeks? Thoughts here are they are silently passing away - a shame!
