I don't have a way to build a USB interface for the microcontroller I was thinking of using for this project, nor (unfortunately) do I know enough to make a custom USB travel-data sync program for the PC. On the other hand, that's a possible idea for a cable source. I could use the cell phone's connector and a cable like that, but replace the connector at the PC end and run serial communications over it (which I _am_ prepared to program). I like it.

There is also software for syncing your phone address, etc. with your computer.
