In terms of the time you'll save they are good value for money.
Although the theory says that a USB cable can be used for serial comms I've seen reports that the way the Palm detects the USB cable makes it's use for serial comms difficult or impossible. A search of the list forum will help here (except that the escribe forum thinks that three letter words like USB are non-significant so you'll have to wade through the clumsy Yahoo search).
