Re: Car Mount Options

So the official car dock is out and it a) blocks the camera, b) has no gooseneck so can't be placed in all locations, and c) it's $60. Soooo not worth it to me. Plus some people are saying it puts the OS into car mode which prevents android from accessing the SD card. So much for music.

I ended up getting the dealextreme dock. So far so good. The gooseneck is VERY strong and the fit is super tight. Swivel function is perfect. I haven't noticed the paint coming off from the fit but i've only been using it for about a week. Suction cup is strong.

One great thing i didn't even think about was that there's a whole in the dock for the camera. You could potentially use your camera as a POV driving safety cameras (to have a record of accidents, at least those in front of you). Not sure if i'll ever use the cut out but it's a cool idea. For $5 it's a steal.
