Palm Vehicle Power Charger for Palm Pre and Pixi
This Palm charging cord will provide enough current to power the Touchstone charging dock in your vehicle. I initially tried this with a (top quality) Motorola micro USB car cord, and the charging cycled on and off continually (like every second!!!). There is a difference between cords, apparently, and the Touchstone system does require a higher current flow. I know that there are other cords that advertise high rate charging, but I haven’t tried any of them yet.

I originally bought a Sprint-branded car charger, but its light started blinking erratically after a few charges, so I returned that and got this charger instead. This one works as advertised. The removable USB cable comes in handy when the battery is running low at work, and is a must-have if you’re streaming Pandora or otherwise using the phone a lot. As for the charger, it’s nice and compact. I’ve also noticed that it runs a lot cooler than the Sprint-branded one.
One teeny complaint is that the USB cable is rather short, so if you’re plugging it into a desktop that’s sitting on the floor, you may have trouble placing the phone on the table.

Several nice features about this charger.
1. It is a USB cable that plugs into a car charger. I can thus take the cable out of my car and bring it into work and charge using my work desktop computer in case the battery is running low.
2. It works with my Motorola H710 headset. Now I don’t have to fumble around changing the chargers while driving. I only have to have one charger plugged into the outlet.
3. There is an additional adapter that plugs into the micro usb port that allows one to charge a palm T/X. I can now remove the charger from my car for the palm T/X. Only one charger in the car!!! I still use my palm T/X as my MP3 player and for various other things. Anyone who has a palm pre knows how bad the battery sucks.
4. The price. I got mine for $20.83. Don’t know what it is going for now, but I saved $10 off buying this in the store.
I’m very happy with the charger. I wish the battery on the pre didn’t suck so bad, but that’s not the chargers fault. Five stars

I got this charger after waiting for almost a month. I’d say it was definitely worth it. Packaging was great. Earler, I purchased sprint’s charger for Pre. It looked so ugly, the big Sprint logo lighting up with the bright yellow color was such a turn off. Palm’s charger looks awesome. The white LED makes it look different and graceful than a cheap $5 charger. Best thing about it is you can take the wire out and use it to charge just about anything with a USB charger. I haven’t tried it on my Zune, but I’m pretty sure it should work for that. Another helpful tip is that lets say you are at your friends place, and you want to copy some mp3s, just take the usb cord from your car and use it to transfer files. Its really handy to have it with you all the time.
Charging speed is great. Its faster than touchstone. I play music on Pandora while charging it. Works without any issue.
If you own Palm Pre, this is the charger you should get !!

Unfortunately, Palm is selling two versions of this charger under the same item number! The one I received when I purchased this Amazon item was the one WITHOUT the “Multiconnector.” It only works with phones using a micro-USB connector (Palm Pixi, Palm Pre, Treo 800w, Treo Pro – according to Palm store). It did not work with my Centro!
