Being a newbie I have to ask, what does this mean? Isn't there a serial cable available for Zire71 by which one can connect to any other serial device? If so, then why is the USB-only pinout a problem?
I intend to buy one such cable which I will be linking to my Garmin eTrex GPS (among other things).
The Zire 71 has the Palm Universal Connector which supports serial communication. The original Zire, the Zire 21, and the Tungsten E only have mini-USB connectors.
