Default PDA Holders

I just don't know if I would trust something that holds onto my device with a suction cup. Some devices don't have a smooth enough surface for that to be effective.
I too thought the suction cup was the weak point here. There are plenty of PDA/GPS/phone universal mounts that would probably work better with most devices. The downside is that those mounts would be larger (and therefore harder to fit in a carry-on bag) and might not work with larger devices (like a PSP?).

However, I do think the clamp is a good idea. Weighted bases that I've seen are large, heavy and would take up more space on the table. Those are all undesirable in a plane.
