I'm at work, I can only use my serial connection since USB isn't supported on NT. So, I have an idea to not have to use my cradle because of the fact that I've got my Silver Slider sleeve attached and with the sleeve attached, I can't seat my Ipaq 3835 into my cradle, not completely enough to sync. So, I know I can find a sync/power cable for USB but not one for Serial.

Anyone seen one, or where i can get one?

TIA,

Sanjay

The problem is the serial port doesn't output electrical power so they can't make a serial cable that will charges. There are serial sync cables but there can't be a serial one that charges.

so, fine the serial cable can't supply power, but then what are my options, work uses NT, NT does not support USB, I need to be able to sync and power my ppc while connected to the Expansion pack.

besides buying a new expansion pack/battery combo, which i can't charge either, since it's still the USB/Serial issue, what are my options?

Any advice would be welcome.
