Yes, I understand about the USB port possibly not being able to put out enough power through the cable to charge the axim once it drops below 50%. Unfortunately, I don't think this is the case with mine. The reason why I think so is that I have a USB to serial cable to charge the axim (this came with my Arkon powered PDA holder) and plugged it into the very same port where I plugged in my Boxwave minisync cable and lo and behold it charged and synced my axim without a problem.

I got the replacement cable today and the same problem persists. I am going to send it back for a refund. I'd prefer that it worked than me having to send it back since its so cool how you can just stuff it in your pocket when your done using it, but I can't afford to have a cable that may or may not sync/charge/drain your battery depending on its mood. :crooked:
