I have the Seidio cradle and their USB cable, too. The cable doesn't work properly, with the Axim thinking it's on battery power in the power applet and the backlight displaying the dimmed battery setting. But with the cradle, the Axim displays full backlight brightness when plugged into the car. I haven't tested the Power applet yet, and will do so this morning, but it would appear that the cradle operates properly and supplies the needed power in the car.

UPDATE: I checked the power applet with the cradle while plugged into the car, and, yes, it reported that it was charging. This means that you can use the cradle as advertised: to power the Axim in the car without any battery drain.
