Hi,

Simon has a long gooseneck which attaches with a suction cup to the
windshield for holding his iPAQ.  He got it from Mobile Planet.  They
have a large variety of PDA holders.

Simion's does have a disadvantage ... we use the auxiliary memory
holder which is rounded at the bottom edge, and the PDA-holder doesn't
grab it very well.

Do you already have screws into your dash for cup holders?  Can you
make use of them to avoid drilling anew?
