Does that use an additional USB port?  If so, then those of us using single USB port laptops (like Thinkpad T20) won't benefit over the internal version (I use a Jacaranda Blue PCMCIA card mysemf)    

get a travel USB port hub, they have 4 port ones the size of a pack of matches. If you have a power outlet you could use the adaptor, but USB is usually more available.    
Stan, you haven't noticed any appreciable voltage drop using a hub on the T23? I might expect this with the T20 and 21, at least, due to their age (and yes, I do see low voltage issues with machines of that vintage - just swapped out a desktop which simply stopped charging an iPod). Just curious.
