RE: too bad...
The article obviously showed it to be UC, but the title needed clarification. I wonder if a mini USB cradle (mini USB connection) would fly if introduced. Thoughts, people? I personally think syncing with bluetooth and only hooking up a charge cable would be my style when I get a Zire 72.

It might make it easier for someone to hack a WIFI solution together for those that want it.

Bluetooth hotsyncing works OK in my experience, but it it significantly slower than USB. I estimate that it doubled or tripled my Hotsync time.

Yuk Yuk. Is this comment a play on words "from cradle to grave?"
Not an appropriate buy IMO
Intel PXA27X, Motorola's ARM Processor, or Texas Instruments OMAP? Pick one Palm Enthusiasts, the choice should be yours. When handheld makers make you choose the ARM Processor, you win.

In the future: Bluetooth replaces IR, there will be a Bluetooth Keyboard, there will be a new, more cost-efficient connector with a HotSync Button (which should be an amalgamation of Apple's iPod Dock Connector and PalmOne's Universal Connector Cigarette Cable) with dual-charging capabilities.
My ideal Connector for PalmOne Handhelds: HotSync/Charging Combo Cable that can be charged through a FireWire Connection and an AC Adapter Plugin, ala iPod Cable.

Must be a slow news day

RE: Must be a slow news day
I just figured that since these UC USB cradles are popping up on the 'net for low prices nowadays, some folks might want to snag one for sentimental purposes or the cool factor or whatever. I really hope that this isn't that last PalmOne-branded cradle that we'll be seeing, however. They need to reissue this one in mini-usb flavor and price it a bit less. Addiitionally, PalmOne needs to standardize on a location for the charger & mini-usb ports (hopefully on the bottom where the current UC is and with no Zire 31-style flap over them) so that such a beast can be produced.
If this thing had been released 2 years ago at half the MSRP, there would be a great deal of interest in it, IMHO.
