Car Mounts With a Twist

[Brad Adrian]

<a href="http://www.revolvedesign.com/">http://www.revolvedesign.com/</a><br /><br />If you own an iPAQ and use it a lot while in your car, you might want to take a quick "trip" to Revolve Design's Web site. They've got two products that might interest you: a <a href="http://www.revolvedesign.com/chargeserial_info.html">car mount with a charging serial dock</a> and a <a href="http://www.revolvedesign.com/roadwriter_info.html">car mount with integrated charger and keyboard</a>.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/adrian/ipaqdock-chrg.jpg" /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/adrian/ipaqRoadWarrior.jpg" /><br /><br />There are really too many features to list here, but both products work with the iPAQ 3100, 3600, 3700, 3800 and 3900 models. I'd encourage you to take a look at the Revolve Web site so you can read all the product details AND so you can take a look at the other innovative mounting products they have. There are accessories for mounting PDAs on the <a href="http://www.revolvedesign.com/air.html">yoke of an aircraft</a>, <a href="http://www.revolvedesign.com/images/products/miscaccessories/wheellg.jpg">the steering wheel of an electric golf cart</a> or the <a href="http://www.revolvedesign.com/images/products/miscaccessories/pullcart2lg.JPG">handle of a golf pull cart</a>.

Aint that the GoType keyboard from Landware?

Those mounting systems are pretty cool. It would be even better if they had a FM transmitter in them so you could play mp3's, GPS directions, audio books . . . through your car stereo.

Their multimedia mounts can play things through the car stereo, but they can not charge your handheld. These companies should combine technologies, and we would be all set.

If it is I would really like to know where I can get one for my ipaq. Landware only lists them for Casios.

They make one for Palms also. I saw the pictures from their website and they hard-wire the connectors so it would connect to your iPaq and Handera also (besides Palm units). Funny thing is, they don't support Casio on those PDA Mount. :(

NO seriously, the yoke of a plane? That thing that looks like a Microsoft Sidewinder, but is mounted in summat with real wings attached? This may not very PDA-enthusiastic of me, but... I don't think I want my pilot playin' Hyperspace Delivery Boy whilst coaxing my plane through the air ;-)

There are actually quite a few flight following/positioning programs for Pocket PC that would make such a thing useful. Besides, flying is relatively easy, it is take-offs and landings that require undivided attention. :wink:
