Hi Terry…

Recommend the sendstation “pocket dock” – converts any mini-USB cable to an iPhone sync cable. Plus is includes a line-out port. Great for travel.

Hey Terry,
I discovered the short cables about a year or so ago. I use the ZIO short cables. They are 12″ and come in all combinations of USB connections. At Cyberguys.com they are only about $3.65 each so the price is good too.

They also have a 12″ Ipod cable too!

Enjoy your site.

Take Care,
Randy

Recently, I had to grab some new USB Mini cables for my portable drives, as most of mine were acting flakey. Fry’s had some of these HP/Monster Cable co-branded USB cables on sale for under $15, and I picked up a couple. So far, I’ve been VERY impressed with the data rates. Not a big believer in cable hype, but these do seem faster when I transfer large files.

At ~6 inches in length, they also travel really well.
