One of the irritating things about cars nowadays is the lack of a decent dash board. 

My Ford Focus is positively useless as far as keeping my personal gadgets within arms reach.  The dashboard is too slanted to be of use.  The tiny little indentation that someone had to create just to aggravate me is – well – aggravating!  Nothing fits in it except a bit of change – and everyone knows that is what the ashtray is for anyways.

I want to keep my phone in easy reach.  Is that too much to ask? 

I guess not - I found this nifty gadget helper.  You stick the pad on your cell phone, iPod or whatever and it grips your dashboard and holds it it in its spot.

I wouldn’t trust it through a major sudden stop, but for the most part, it’s pretty cool.
