I'm thinking no... that one connector doesnt look like that right one... it looks the the end for the regular sync cable... but the female end on the other side is correct...

Lets just say ur halfway there....


Someone correct me if I'm wrong... because I could be....

It looks like it's the correct cable to me. The other type is more rounded.

woah, look at those prices. what a rip off.
Anyway, from the picture, it is a mini b cable, but the description suggest it is a mini a. I noticed that the other pictures are also wrong, ie the charger says it has an Australian plug but if you look at the picture, it doesn't look like it at all.
If you really want to buy it, I would consider contacting them to verify because it is so bloody expensive. If you are in Sydney, there is a hardware store on Pitts Street near Wynyard station that sells proper host cables, but they call em Digital Camera cables. David Reid also sells them for $12. Alternatively, just head to OfficeWorks or HarrisTech and get the 5-in-1 GoldX cable or the cheaper clone for around $30.
