I bought a cable kit off of eBay for a 3670 that has a cable terminating in
a USB connector that can be plugged directly into the USB port of a PC for
ActiveSync and charging at the sam time. The kit also has a wall power
adaptor that the USB plug plugs into, as well as a car cigarette lighter
plug that also has a USB socket for power. The whole kit is new and can
usually be found for about $20. I leave the cradle at work and everything
else is at home or on the road. A search on 'ipaq car charger' usually shows
all the relevant items.
