I received mine yesterday, and it's definitely a huge step forward from the dongle/converter/slowdown/... mess you'd have to deal with otherwise. The ability to just plug in to any USB port is great!

I'm using the connector mostly with RDCL to upload packages and extract data, and it seems to work well at 115.2kbps.

It would be nice if the connector would be flush with the back of the Newton, and have the original plastic insert close the opening completely, but that's more aesthetics.
