Of course you can also use the two functions individually.

The first one I purchased had a flaky power tip, but the replacement they sent out works fine with my N800. Fits in palm or pocket when closed, a nice addition to your travel kit.
I have this exact cable, and it works great. If you've seen the PSP sync/charge cables, you'll understand how this one works...

One thing I have noticed, is that the charge thru the USB port seems to be *really* slow...I can leave my N800 connected to the power tip all day, even while turned off, and I never see the "Charging" indicator switch to "Charged". But when I use my device, it seems to have a full charge, or at least enough to use it for a long time.
