Works great and is accompanied by a seperate cable to be used in your car or any 12 volt (lighter) outlet. Although not as sturdy as the "genuine" Palm cradle, it is a much more economical alternative to the one sold by Palm. I have used it almost daily and am very pleased with its performance. If there is one minor negative it is merely that the unit is very light and I found that fastening to my desk with Velcro kept it from falling off.
