Anyone seen a short iPod cable like this for sale in the US?

Short iPod Cable

Currently, I have a MacAlly Link360 iPod adapter. I like the design of it, but it sometimes just kind of shorts out and disconnects.

A quick google serach turned this up http://www.pdasmart.com/products/AP73ipodpartscenternano.htm

I've been on the hunt for something like this too, for reducing desk clutter and making the bags lighter when on the road.

A search turns up a short sync cable from CableJive. Might be a little on the spendy side, but will be a nice thing to keep in the laptop bag.

If I were you, I would just use the one apple sells with their iPods because it's guranteed to work and backed by apple if it doesn't.
