The built-in amplified speaker on the back of the cradle will significantly help you clearly hear your MP3 music, digital books, and GPS voice commands above the noise of the road. This revolutionary cradle also includes a volume control knob, power LED, and a USB interface for popular models of GSM phones." They cost $69.95

don't miss the disclaimer at the bottom of the page about the XDA model.

"Speaker Feature incompatible with T-Mobile headphone jack"

Wow! This is a huge improvement over the universal vent-mount model holder I have. Maybe worth a try ...

[updated] well, seems like it does not have vent mount support and requires a 3M adhesive. Anything with adhesive to either the dash or the device is out of my consideration. :(

I have to second that...how could they take a cool piece of hardware like this then totally "cheese" it out by using tape to hold it on. I live in an area that's usually 105+ degrees everyday during the summer, that tape would be toast in minutes.....

Is it just me, or is 65 dollars not justified for this product? It seems a bit too expensive.

WOW! 105 degrees!? I wish I had that, rather than the 8 degree weather here in New Jersey/New York. I better start :drinking: before I put out the recycling tonight!

I second this...$65 for a stick-on holder does seem to be pricy, and the speakerphone function doesn't even work for the PPCPE model.

Today it's only going to be 76 but we expect low 80's by the weekend.... :)

In response to earlier post by smittyofdhs regarding the t-mobile. Arkon now includes a 3.5 mm to 2.5 mm adapter in their solution at no additional charge. See http://www.arkon.com/pdapower.html

smittyofdhs can rest easy since an alternative solution to the multi-angle adhesive mount is now offered. I've tried the new windshield suction disk and it is super strong. It's been on my windshield for about 3 weeks and no sign at all of falling off.

The new adapter allows you to be able to hear the audio through the built-in amplified speaker. The adapter also allows you to plug in a headset if you have one.

Now it's a complete solution.
