I live in Singapore and would like to buy the 4-1 cable for my new Dopod U1000. I looked at the Expansys page and discovered that it costs UKP13.x and the international shipment costs UKP22.x ... I really don't want to pay UKP22.x shipment for something that costs less... I am assuming HTC makes this cable as well in Taiwan. Can it be sourced there? I happen to be flying to Taipei on Monday for business. Thanks for your help.

shipping is way too much expensive !!! are they using instant transformation and that makes it so expensive !!! I can't belive it that shipping is o expensive !! those guys there really think that they can make money through shipping and make a bigger instant transmation so that they can do it with humans? !!

maybe you can ask people in US or UK to buy it for you then post it to you

Only international shipping option on these sites are 3-4 day DHL etc and hence the price. Given all this hardware is made somewhere in Asia I can't believe there is no where I can source this item...

wu5262, with your close links to HTC, can you confirm whether this cable is made by them in Taiwan or OEM'med somewhere out of mainland China etc?

Thanks & Best Regards
