I just talked to someone at Pocket PC Techs and they are holding back shipments of their usb sync cable. They said there is a manufacturing defect that regulates the power coming from the cable. The cable is only putting out 4.4 when it needs to put out the full 5+ that the usb port offers.

So for now, they mentioned that the cable could only reliably work if the charge was above 80% already. Other than that it was simply a USB cable not a USB/Charging cable. The person I talked to seemed to think that it was not completly an Axim issue, but one that can be fixed if the cable is manufactured properly.

I am glad their customer support was up front. I would order from them again.

Take all this for what its worth!
