What you see is what you get. The cable plugs into a USB port to charge and sync your Dell Axim PDA.
I'm using the Axim X50 and a Dell D600 laptop. Although I'm satisfied overall, I have had a couple of minor issues when using this cable.
Sometimes the Axim is not recognized when it is first connected using this cable. Disconnecting, waiting a few seconds, and then reconnecting has never failed to fix the problem. (Note: This happens once in awhile on my desktop synchronization cradle also, so I'm not that concerned.)
I have also had a couple of times where the synchronization did not complete successfully. This was usually when there was a large amount of data that needed to be transferred. I don't know if that was just an unlucky coincidence or something else. So far, a restart of the synchronization process has always fixed the problem. Just pay attention to ensure that the synchronization completes without errors.
I carry this cable, along with some other electronic travel essentials, in a small travel kit that goes in my briefcase when I'm on the road. I keep that kit as small and light as possible by limiting it the absolutely critical items only. The fact that the cable is in there is evidence of how important it is for me.
Aside from synchronization on the road, this cable has another big advantage for a frequent international traveler. My laptop power supply is multivoltage, so I never have to carry a power converter when I travel between the US and Europe (or anywhere else for that matter). By charging my Axim from the USB port on my laptop, there is never a voltage conversion problem. (I have a similar USB charger for my mobile phone.) If I can find a single accessible electrical outlet in a hotel, I can recharge my laptop, PDA, and phone all at once. Perhaps this takes longer than using dedicated chargers, but it works.
The Dell desktop charger is still easier to use, nicer overall, and works more reliably for me. I'm rating this cable at 4 stars, but that is really all I expect from it.
One usage tip. When you first connect the cable, you might see your Axim screen flickering between bright and dim. Don't panic. The charging is accomplished over USB done a current pulse. It makes the PDA power management think that it is being repeatedly connected and disconnected from external power. When charging using this cable, you need to adjust your brightness settings on the Axim so that the match for both battery and external power. (Select: Programs / Settings / System / Brightness) If your brightness settings are not the same in both states, the display will appear to flicker bight/dim/bright/etc.
