Anybody heard of this cradle?

An EBay seller is showing this USB cradle for the Prism and Platinum. It looks like it has no separate power cable, so I guess it charges through the port. Does that really provide enough power? Or will it significantly lengthen recharge times? Here's his ad copy:

"This item is Brand New straight from the factory! It will charger your Prism in addition to syncing using USB power. It uses Handspring
Factory original connectors. Compare @$39.00, I GUARENTEE this product to be free from defects. It is compatible with the Visor Prism
Model and features USB connectivity. Features Imac transparent coloring. This hot sync cradle is foldable so it works gread for regular
desktop needs in the office or while traveling. Its compact and lighwieght design are ideal for todays business environment."

I have seen such a cradle before in Singapore (I live in Singapore )

Anyway, yes, it really works.
For the Visors, the USB port supplies just enough power to charge your Visor (Prism, Edge, and Pro ONLY).

I have such a USB cable and it works. I got it only for S$8 ~ US$5

Cheers,
Andre

PS: However, Handspring's advise is not to use such a cable. Might cause problems, like what it did to my Prism a few days ago...

Well gee, that's a strange recommendation. So okay, what did it do?

Terry - here's a recent link - this guy has at least one auction per day on this item.
