PDAExtreme's accessories offer retractable and portable cables for your mobile phone or personal digital assistant (PDA). 

These cables are affordable and are great for mobile professionals on the go.

 Introduction

PDAExtreme.com is an online store dedicated to providing accessories for your PDA or

mobile phone.  If you are looking for accessories such as cases, cables, screen

protectors, bluetooth devices, etc., they have wide range of products available for

your device.  They provided us with some samples of typical accessories available for

most devices.  In this review, we look at several of these accessories specifically

for the Palm Treo 650.

Sync/Charge Cable
The sync/charge cable is different than the typical cable that comes with your PDA or

mobile phone.  The main reason you would want to buy this product is because it is a

retractable cable.  In its most compact form, it is about the size of a keychain. 

This makes it easy to put in your pocket, to carry with you, and to not have to worry

about wires being tangled or twisted.  To use the cable, just plug one end into the

USB port of your laptop computer and plug the other end into your device (in this

case, a Treo 650).  After that, the device will charge and you can sync your device

with your laptop.  When extended, this cable extends over 3 feet long and is plenty

to connect between your computer and PDA/phone.  It really doesn't get any simpler

than this.  People who find tangling wires very annoying will definitely enjoy this

product.

Chargers
What makes PDAExtreme's accessories unique is that they are modular.  Suppose you

want to charge your PDA or phone in the car.  In this case, you would typically need

to have another cable that can plug into your car outlet.  PDAExtreme's solution

keeps things simple.  Rather than having to look for another cable, you just need to

plug in the car adapter connector to the sync/charge cable.  Just plug the USB end

into the car adapater, and you are now able to charge your device in the car.  The

same is true if you want to charge your device in an outlet.  Just remove car adapter

and plug in the other adapter and you are all set.

Stereo Headphones
The stereo headphones follows the same concepts and offers a retractable solution for

headphones.  The only thing I did not like about this is that it has the smaller

2.5mm plug and this can only be used to listen to music.  I would like to see a

solution that is capable of being a headset and headphones. 

Conclusion
PDAExtreme offers a unique combination of accessories for your phone or PDA.  If you

want a sync/charge cable along with the chargers, they can typically be purchased in

a kit for less than $20.  This is a reasonable price that is well worth it if you

want to have cables which are portable and are less likely to be tangled up.  I would

definitely recommend the sync/charge cable as well as the charger adapaters.  Be sure

to also check out PDAExtreme's other accessories such as cases, styluses, screen

protectors, and bluetooth acccessories.  I'm sure you will find at least something

that will fit your needs.
