I was curious, if anyone had the idea, or knows of any where to get a car mountable kit for the car, maybe not the charger, but kinda like a cradle, so the clie can firmly stay in place while driving like in tablet mode to see numbers, or to make notes. Thanks in advance

Oh, I remember seeing something like that not too long ago.

Actually, Staples had a nice Samsonite on clearance I picked up for about six bucks. I have since heard on PPC forums that the same Samsonite model can be found in dollar stores. Keep in mind it is not a charging unit, it only holds it. However, it is adjustable and has hard foam padding to hold it snugly. I have been using it to play mp3 files in my car for about a month, no problems. Mounts with either a sticker (not!) or two screws. Some have mounts that go into the vents on the dash. This one does not. Good luck. Sorry, I cannot find a model number on this one. It is obviously discontinued.

Before buying a car mount kit try turning on your NX70 in the car with the radio playing. In my car (Focus) I get a high pitiched whine from the radio when the NX70 is turned on in my hand in the driver's seat.

Had no such problems. I output NX to input on Car stereo. Works fine.

Arkon Resources has the largest mounting selection. They have a new mount they call the powered multimedia pda mount that will power your device. I just got one of them and not only does the cradle work great... the windshield pedestal on the solution I got (CM516) is very strong and hasn't fallen off yet.

See http://www.arkon.com/pdapower.html

They also have various mounting solutions that don't have the built-in amplified speaker.
