Seidio, Inc. has just announced a new PDA swivel mount! This swivel mount allows you to turn the whole PDA 360 degrees to view your PDA in Portrait and Landscape mode. In addition, this swivel mount provides the ability to position your PDA at every possible angle for the best viewing and GPS reception, which makes it easier for both the driver and the passenger to view the navigation maps. Meanwhile, it also reduces the windshield glare for clear viewing of GPS maps.

Do you have an air-vent swivel mount that will work with an HP 56x device?

I'm really sorry, but we don't currently have the charging cable for the HP 56x device or the time being. However, there are other accessories available. Did you check out the website? Again, i'm really sorry. If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask. Thanks for the reply~

I have my own car charging cable, but am still looking for a good air-vent mount.

See, even if you have a charging cable, we are unable to provide the air-vent mount for you because the cable and cradle design won't match. That's really too bad, because we have a really good air-vent mount that is available for many other brands (just not for the HP 56x :( ). But I have a suggestion for you! You can go to your website and pick out a new PDA!! :D

JonnoB, I have this swivel mount, so I thought I'd answer since Seidio's response seemed a bit unclear. This isn't so much a "mount" as it is an adapter. It's actually two pieces of plastic with a ball swivel in the middle. One piece of it attaches to a vent or windshield mount sold by Seidio (or Arkon), and the other piece attaches to a powered, multimedia cradle (http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=SMK3).

I think Jessica responded the way she did because Seidio only sells powered cradles, which means that they don't have one for your HP. That being said, I think you can use the swivel adapter if you do the following: Buy the Arkon CM629 Universal Vent Mount PDA Kit (http://www.arkon.com/pdamount.html) for $44.95, which does not include a charger. (Take a look at a closeup of the mount here (http://www.mobileplanet.com/private/pocketpcthoughts/product.asp?dept%5Fid=3719&pf%5Fid=MP950758&listing=1) to see if your charger would work)
Buy the Arkon CM47 Vent Mount Assembly (http://www.arkon.com/pedestals.html) for $9.95. This will include an adapter to use the vent mount with the Multimedia cradle, which in turn ensures that the "Seidio Swivel Mount" can be used, as the Arkon and Seidio Multimedia cradles are made by the same manufacturer in China, and the connects for both cradles are identical.
Buy the Seidio Swivel Mount (http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=SMK1-SA1) for $9.95, and attach it between the vent mount adapter and the cradle.
This might be a little on the expensive side, but it should work just fine. 8)
