Any tips where to order the cheapest travel-charger? The Palm charger is very much overpriced in my view.

Amazon is selling the car charger for $7.89 and the travel charger for $12.99:

this works only in the USA, they do not ship overseas and Amazon in Europe does not offer this product.

The huge price-difference shows how Palm is overcharging by the way...

I purchased one from ebay entitled "3 pcs sync cable & charger Kit Palm Tungsten" for $18.99. Search under these exact words to find the same item currently (seller is "yatchai" and sells 3-4 of same item at a time). Item is brand new (item mentioned in prev. post from amazon was listed as refurbished when I checked). It consists of a standard USB charge/hotsync cable with a hardware hotsync push-button, with a plugin (via USB connector) AC wall plug and 12v car plug. This is the most compact travel setup I've seen, it works well and seller appeared very reliable (have had no previous contact with him). Seller sells same item w/o car charger for $15.99 under the title "USB Hotsync + AC Charger Palm Tungsten T". Highly recommended.
