First post, seems like everyone has or are going to get the cradle usb/serial. I am wondering if anyone has or will get in the future the cable which is ten dollars cheaper and able to lug it around. Are there drawbacks to using the cable. Can one use the cable on a desktop PC. Not much info is given on handspring website, and I emailed tech support to ask them but would really like to hear from users. Thanks.

The only downside to using the cable instead of the cradle is that you have to use the Hotsync program to manually initiate a hotsync. The cable has no Hotsync button.

You can also initiate a HotSync via the HotSync application on the handheld... just be sure to hit Local Sync and not Modem Sync.
