Sweet, and since they also use it for PSP I might even see one here soon?

Hey all, the "logic3" branded PSP charger/sync cable is available all over the place in the UK - record shops, game shops, you name it, and is less than $10 (less than £6 native  )

it works brilliantly, and is retractable.  The power bit doesn't retract, but it's still damn neat and fits inside the top of the "pouch" that i have for the Z.

Hi everybody,

I asked for the same cable in Germany, too. And I got the really true, but a bit frustrating answer that this cable is only as good as the USB power supply behind it. If you have a bad USB hub offering only little more than 5V you will be able to toast your Z. Following the Trisoft guys the charging module inside the Z can be damaged very easily. I'm currently thinking of a limiting electronics board that cuts everything with more than 5V, but I don't have enough time to follow that idea.

That's very true...  I'd assume that any mobo or laptop USB ports are going to be right, but I'd be wary of the cheapest hubs that are available!  You could put a voltage limiting zener in there for simple protection, I suppose, but I trust my laptop USB power
