Go with the KISS principle...

I just use the sync cradle with a null modem adapter to the K2io cable.

It allows about 6 feet of freedom if not more and the cradle is a nice 
angle to read/write/graffitti.

BTW, the older Palms ( like the 105 are dirt cheap )  run on AAA's so 
it's not prob with recharging.
