Other regular USB to Mini-USB are working fine for both the syncing and charging.

I have emailed PDAextreme and will wait to see their reply.
The Touch Pro only works with USB cables with 3 wires. Most retractable cables I've seen only have 2. The Belkin one (silver in color) is the only one I've tried that has 3 wires and works perfectly. I bought it from Fry's Electronics.

If you want to charge AND sync / tether you'll need a 3 wire retractable cable.
