Car mounts: Arkon CM 130 vs. Panavise PortaGrip 2000
I'm looking for a permanent and stable car mount with an arm and an adjustable holder that can fit my 15GB iPod.
Those two mounts - the Arkon CM130 and the Panavise PortaGrip 2000 - are the only universal car mounts that i've found suitable for me...
Anyone have any experience with the arkon or the portagrip?
Could anyone post pictures of how you mounted your ipod in car?
I really dont know which one should i choose...
here are the links for more details:

PANAVISE PORTAGRIP 2000: http://www.panavise.com/f/comm/cell_portagrip2000.html
Many thanks.

I don't know how good the arm portion of the ARKON CM130 is, however I have the AC vent cell phone holder from Radio Shack, and the grip looks identical to the one in the picture. It holds the iPod really well!

i'm using universal phone mount that i got from the sprint pcs store for $15. it's pretty good. it has a ball joint that allows my ipod to be positioned in many ways. it can be either screwed or mounted with adhesive tape.
