Ositech Communications says it will ship in October its USB
Cellular Data Cable with Charger for cell phones. The charger lets
users connect their cell phones to their laptops. This connection
lets you recharge the cell phone from the notebook, 
as
well as use the phone's wireless connection for the notebook for
Internet data.
The company says the cable takes advantage of the notebook's AC
power supply, and leaves the phone fully operational during
charging. On the data side, the connectivity lets users
send/receive e-mail, send faxes and access the Internet from their
laptop through the mobile phone. Software is included to monitor,
control and customize the cell phone charging.
Ositech says the USB Cellular Data Cable is compatible with many
PIM and phone synchronization software, as well as many different
Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Kyocera and Ericsson cell phones. The
cable costs $79.
