I love the idea of a drop in dock for the ipod, however, my biggest concern is the fact that the dock is now supporting the ipod off its connector. Aside from bumping it while shifting, the passenger knocking her elbow into, etc. my greatest concern is the loading of the connector from G-forces related to driving. I'm just not sure that Apple ever designed the dock connector to withstand such repeated stress.

I do love the idea though, much better than keeping it under the armrest cubby. On the flip side, however, that convenient location also really invites trouble in my opinion- whether its sitting there with top up (somewhat asking someone to smash a window to get it) or top up while you run into quickie mart to get a soda, etc. At least under the cubby its not readily visible asking to be stolen.
