| A Few Questions....  | USB Charging my Treo Why is it I can charge via the USB cable when it is plugged into my home PC, the one I hotsync to, but not on any other PC's? I suspect there must be some driver on my Home PC that is allowing for this to happen, as I notice that the charging only starts after windows is fully booted. It would really be handy to charge this way at the Office, but I cannot install software on the Office PC. Is there a mod/hack for the treo so it will charge via any available USB port? |

    | I keep the ac charger at work, and I sync at home via a cable on my laptop and a dock on my desktop, and I have a car charger. That's how I stay charged.

| Unfortunately, there aren't any mods that I know of. The Palm Desktop installs drivers that allow your Treo to charge via its USB port. Without Palm Desktop installed, the PC won't recognize your Treo. |

| Actually, I can charge myTreo at work via USB. I don't and can't have the palm software installed at work. Are the USB ports at work powered USB ports? Have you tried all the ports on your work computer? |

| An idea that might be worth checking out - Wall Adapter for USB. Gives you another option.
