New Accessory Releases from Tech Center Labs
Tech Center Labs has kicked off the new year with two new accessories for Palm devices. The first is a mini USB charge cable. This charger is ten inches in length yet quite sturdily constructed. It allows Palm devices to trickle charge from any PC's USB port, even if a Palm USB driver is not installed on the PC. The cable is compatible with all Athena/MultiConnector devices and includes its own plastic carrying pouch. It's available now for $12.95.
TCL's other new product is a Labtec Stereo Headset with integrated boom microphone. This high-quality headset is designed to give stereo audio-out to any Athena/MultiConnector Palm device. This looks to be a good alternative for Treo owners since these devices lack a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack. It also should be a servicable replacement for owners of Palm devices with damaged headset or headphone connectors. The TCL/Labtec headset also requires no drivers or additional power and is a fully plug'n play device.
Additionally, the Palm TX and T5 support microphone-in through their MultiConnector ports, so this headset is ideal for owners of these devices who want to use them in VOIP applications. It's available now for $19.95.

RE: Gary does it again
Kris, Thanks for mentioning our new products! Clarification, although the little charger cable is 'mini' it is a standard USB connector and also will charge as fast as the available current allows.

I just started to review this thing last night and I'm quite impressed. In very informal testing of this vs. the Palm official Hotsync cable, yours seems to be charging a bit faster.
Congrats again on a great product!

The T5 and TX work fine. The other Palms with Athena/Multi-Connectors are the Treo 650/680/700p/LifeDrive, all of which have internal mics and don't need an external one.

It has an integrated mic and a hotsync button and can either trickle charge or suck as much juice as your USB port can provide. Yeah, I'm a geek (that was for you David), but I have fun doing it.
I'm still waiting for the mythical color HandEra.
