Toshiba Sync & Charge Cable from Gomadic
http://store.yahoo.com/cgi-bin/clink?gomadic-new+jQKYD5+tose3powsycn.html
One of the best accessories that I can own for a particular Pocket PC is a sync/charge cable. Instead of having to lug around AC adaptors and cradles to connect to a desktop/laptop, I simply carry one small cable. When I travel I usually have my laptop, and by connecting my Pocket PC to the laptop using a sync/charge cable, I can easily charge it. Gomadic has released a whole series of sync/charge cables, and they sent me one for the Toshiba e310/e740. I recently bought an e310 for my wife as an early Christmas present (hey, I needed it for testing too), so I used this cable while I was doing my testing.
Cables like this either work or they don't - and this one worked. The cables feel very high-quality: the rubber shell has a solid feel to it, and it straightens out fairly easily after being wound up (a sign of a good-quality cable).
Pocket PC Thoughts has partnered up with Gomadic - 10% of your purchase price will come back to support the site, and if you use the coupon code "ppcthoughts" you'll get 10% off the price of $14.95. Everyone wins!
Psst... :bday: Gomadic happened to send me two of these excellent cables by mistake, but their mistake is your gain - the first e310 or e740 owner to respond to this posting will win this cable!
UPDATE: The appropriately named "ToshToshTosh" is the winner! That took all of sixty seconds...you guys are ravenous! :lol:

I bought one of these when Dale Coffing featured on his site. It absolutely rocks for those of us who have to lug a laptop and Pocket PC everywhere. I highly recommend this to anyone with a Toshiba PPC.
