Is there a USB cradle for Palm V?  I didn't know that.

I have a Tungsten T.  It syncs fine over USB, IrDA and Bluetooth.  I
wouldn't call it effortless, but I'm quite comfortable.

I was thinking about buying a T|X (wifi! web browser!), but bought a
Nokia 770 instead.  It is not exactly a PDA, though (no PIM software by
default, although you can later install GPE or DejaPim).
