well here is what i am trying to accomplish, maybe someone has an idea.

i have my dell axim mounted on my car windshield in the center of the windshield on that powered-pda mount with the speaker in the back...
its best here because i have a gps system that plugs in the top that needs to see out my windshield to get a good signal.

anyway, i also have a cable that connects my axim to my cellphone and uses my cellphone as a modem to get on the internet while on the road.

i was interested in making myself or finding something that i could transform into a swivel mount that would attach to part of the passenger side dash that would allow a keyboard to swivel out to the right of where my shifter area is so that i could type while i drive with my right hand out creating a very hazardous situation where i have to take my eyes off the road, or even if im pulled over having a keyboard would be a much better alternative than the touchscreen.

this is why i was looking for a keyboard where i could just disconnect my gps reciever and plug the keyboard in when i get online (cant use the base plug since thats used by the internet cable) and have it be able to be mounted somewhere nearby.

any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated since im relatively new to the whole axim scene and i'm not as familiar with all the available products as some of you probably are.

thanks again :)
