RE: Car Mounts
There are quite a few laptop holders for cars. My personal favorite is the one that attaches to the steering wheel. I'm waiting for news report on the first person who is using it during a head-on collision and gives himself an instant hemicorporectomy without benefit of anesthesia.
Truth be told, I approve of this. You sound like someone who doesn't spend hours everyday working from his car. Salespeople spend a good percentage of their time driving from customer to customer and need help to use this as anything but down time. I'd rather this than some guy holding his cell phone in one hand, his Palm in the other, and driving with his knees at 90 MPH.

Secondly it is HANDS-FREE so there is nothing to hold in your hands.
Last of all, without anyone ACTUALLY testing the product how do you know it won't Work?
You guys all in a bad mood today or what??

A friend of mine and her baby were nearly killed last week by a cell phone user who was not paying attention to pedestrians while she was making a cell phone call.
Let's be careful out there!

How DANGEROUS, really?
Each year an estimated 284,000 distracted drivers are involved in serious crashes, according to a new study by the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center funded by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety.
The study found that drivers were most often distracted by something outside their vehicle (29.4 percent) followed by adjusting a radio or CD player (11.4 percent). Other specific distractions included talking with other occupants (10.9 percent), adjusting vehicle or climate controls (2.8 percent), eating or drinking (1.7 percent), [b]cell-phone use (1.5 percent)[/b] and smoking (0.9 percent).
I wonder where "talking to your Palm" would fall into this equation?

Hands-free for PC
Hmmm...
shouting @ palm
Great idea . . . but
Don't worry folks
I'm stationary in a traffic jam, this time.
Seriously though, this sounds like a great idea.
