Product Description

This Mobi Products Cradle with spare battery slot for webOS let's you easily charge your Smartphone and a spare battery at the same time. Easily synchronize and charge your webOS with any USB-enabled computer. Just connect the cradle to your computer's USB and you are set. The Smartphone is charged through your computer's USB port.

The cradle features a spare battery charger - great to have if you have multiple batteries. If you want to use the cradle's spare battery charger, you also need to connect the bundled AC adapter. The AC adapter does not charge your device, it only provides power to the battery slot.

Good Value!

User: Kathryn McN, Oct 26, 2009

Pros: charges both spare battery and handset simultaneously
Cons: the oddness of the existence of the stylus

I read the reviews here and bought this cradle. Its a great item at a great price. It DOES charge the phone while charging a spare battery, if you want to open the USB port. I am using it with both a stock and a Seidio 1350 battery. The larger battery is a tight squeeze, but using a ballpoint pen cap or even the stylus to pry the battery our after charging works fine. It does seem to be scuffing my Invisible Shield a little, from putting it in and taking it out of the cradle. The upside is that it helps to keep my desk organized and I know my Pre is in a safe place.

Works Great!

Pros: Lots to like for the money!
Cons: None yet for the money!

Not sure why others complain so much! Buying here helps to support one of my favorite sites on the nets! This works great! As stated by anony mous, my Pre & my fellow co-workers Pixi charges on both the AC and on the USB, not just sync on USB? The spare bat compartment only charges on AC! The cool blue stylus is left over from the days of yore, its useless for a Pre/ Pixi, but looks real cool in Blue Neon! Get it already!

Nice Cradle

Pros: Looks Good on Desktop, Charges Spare Battery and Phone at same time.
Cons: Spare Battery Slot is Tight Fit for Seidio Batteries

I read the reviews and decided to buy this product.

The other reviews seem to be right on the money.

The newer version of this product they seemed to correct the charging problem and now this cradle charges a spare battery and the phone at the same time off the AC adapter alone.

Previous versions you had to have the USB plugged into the PALM PRE to charge the phone. The AC adapter only charged the Spare Battery. That is corrected now and the AC Adapter will charge BOTH at same time.

I have no idea why they included a Stylus since it does not work with the PALM PRE and is not needed. It looks cool lit up in Blue, but again why they have it is beyond me. I use it to pop the Spare Battery out of the slot.

The spare battery port will fit Seidio and Palm batteries, but it is a tight fit as others have mentioned. I use the Stylus to pop out the battery. I have the 1350mPH Seidio and the 2600 mPH Seidio and the slot charges both just fine. They made the slot like 1 mm too small and therefore putting in a battery to charge in the Spare slot is tight, but it does fit. Getting it out with the stylus works good for me.

Overall for $25 this is a great purchase and it works as advertised. I paid $59 for the Palm 755P cradle.

AC adapter DOES charge Pre

User: trigon man3, Sep 24, 2009

Pros: -
Cons: no instruction sheet

I just got this, plugged in the AC adapter, then plugged it into the Pre. I got the familiar bing-bong noise and lightning bolt charging icon. The USB cord is not attached to anything.

unexpected benefit

User: anony mous, Sep 4, 2009

Pros: charges Palm and Seidio 1350 batteries
Cons: Seidio battery is tight fit

My first unit was DOA, but PreCentral took care of the exchange promptly. The replacement unit charges the batteries fine.

I discovered an unexpected benefit this week while out of town at a conference. I plugged my Pre into the micro USB connector on the cradle, and the Pre battery began charging. But I hadnt plugged the cradle into my laptop yet, so according to the instructions my Pre should not have been charging.

Not sure how/why this is happening, but Ive been able to charge my Pre this way all week. (My spare battery was in the cradle charging from the AC outlet while the Pre was getting its charge through the cradles micro USB.) Maybe somebody from Seidio can leave a note about this functionality?
