Does anyone know where I can get a cable that has a USB on one end and the "AC/DC in" head (the same head the plugs from AC into the cradle) on the other side? With this cable I can get rid of everything else and only carry one cable for all chargers and extras. I can't seem to find one like that however. They all are USB to Clie. Anyone know if they even make one?

Dear Zod411,

You can do some searching on Ebay (type Sony NX80V or NX73V and go from there...)
Covertec (www.covertec.com) has something in the line of what you are looking. Just look under PDAs, Sony, NX...

I currently have a NX <-> USB extendable cable that allows me to charge/sync throught a PCs USB port; I'm just to lazy to buy the universal charger from Covertec that plugs in the USB end :).

Thanks for the help, but no dice. I checked both and all have the Clie connector molded to the other end, not the AC connector.
I found one that is close, but not quite...here (http://www.expansys.com/zoompic.asp?type=item&code=102561). This one has the mini usb on the other end, which wont work either, but it is pretty much the same set up I am looking for.

Sorry but they don't make this kind of cable. You need a special cable that will "sync and charge" as they call it but it will NOT have the A/C connector on the end of it. It will have the "Clie" connector and will charge through it and you should also be able to sync with it as well.

See, the problem with this is that I have one of those sync/charge cables that I use. It has the USB on one end and I can just choose what adapter I want to plug into it (AC/DC or sync). The other end is "Clie connector". I also have a keyboard that I like to use. The keyboard has the "AC in" jack so I can charge while I type... Which is something I need to do since my battery no longer lasts like it use to.
And lastly, I have one of those removable "Clie connector" cables like in the picture I linked to above. The removable "Clie connector" has a spot for the mini USB, or the "AC in". I was hoping to condense all the cables with different heads into one easy to use unit. I hate carrying around a rats nest of wires for these different apps.
Is there another way of accomplishing this task?

Thanks!
