Akron DM320 discontinued?

Ok,

I'm just over at Arkon's web site and I noticed the DM320 is discontinued? Does anyone know what's up with that? They just came out with this thing a few months ago. It doesn't say 'out of stock'....it says "This item has bee discontinued." Check it out here:

Because it's a lousy design cradle (crappy audio and off-center clamp)

Interestingly enough, it looks like they've only discontinued the X50/X51 versions...all the other Axim models and other PDA brands still show up.

You know, when I initially saw that design, I wondered how good the clamps would be centered. Since the serial connector appears to be fixed, if the clamps aren't perfectly centered the pressure wouldn't be even on both sides of the PDA. Has that been your experience?

Thanks,

Gary
