Arkon Powered Mount for Dell

[rolrbl8der]

ARKON has just today added to their new line of Powered PDA Mounts, a solution for Dell Axim users.

(Text from the Arkon Site)

The Powered PDA cradle is set at 5V. 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 (cords vary by make of phone and are sold separately)

Each cradle comes with a universal multi-angle pedestal whereby allowing perfect directional placement in the vehicle at all times. The flexible rectangular pedestal base conforms to the shape of your dash or console, even for those that are not a flat surface. The pedestal attaches to your vehicle with a strong 3M adhesive and can easily be detached from the cradle should you want to put the cradle in the glove compartment while you are away from the vehicle.

The cradle with all these built in features only goes for $69.95. The model number for the Arkon Powered PDA Mount for the Axim is CM525

Looks like I'll have to order one of these!

That looks pretty nice I wonder how good the built in speaker sounds?

Watch out for the disclaimer specially if you're a PPC PE owner. It is not compatible with the audio for the Phone Edition.

I wonder about the power set at 5VDC. If I look at the charger that the Axim came with, I believe it was 3.5? It is at work, but I know it was X.5? That is what has prevented me from gettting another charger. I am not sure if it is recommended to use a charger that supplies different Volt/Amps?

Any electrical engineers out there?

That looks pretty sweet...
[i found the answer to the question i posted that used to be here... someone already asked it :blink: ]

Aaron -

IIRC, the voltage is 5.5vdc, so 5.0vdc should be OK.

I've been wondering about chargers, too - I've got a closet full of power supplies and chargers, I'd love to be able to use one of those instead of buying yet another one...
