Is there a good cheap car charger out there that acts as a holder/mount as well? I like the flexible ones, but not the pricetag. eBay seems to have a lot of crap, and nothing good at all... they're just ugly pieces of s**t.
Where's the good stuff at DECENT prices?? Geeze... you'd think by now there would be some smart people out there that would offer reasonably priced accessories for the iPods....

That one is just a vent mount. I bought it and it works well but I'm still looking for a more permanent solution. Plus it doesn't have a charger.

They are in the hole in the wall outlets (online and B&M), which import from slightly questionable Far East manufacturers, whom dont give a rat's behind about Apple licensing, which is the reason mainstream accessories cost so much.

well imo the apple licensing thing is a joke anyway.. just another money grab. sure, some accessories are quite questionable, and i certainly wouldn't want to gamble with frying my ipod when it comes to any kind of device that involves charging, but aside from that there's no reason accessory makes should be licensed... also, that's not why accessories cost so much, it's because the people who make and market them know the reputation ipods have, and know they can charge premium prices and most people will still pay them. if anything, it's the people's fault who pay those prices. if products don't sell, then they would be forced to lower their prices.. but whatever... that's just the way it is.
im gonna check out that walmart one tomorrow.. if it works well, means i wont need to buy a new deck either, since the one i have doesn't have aux in..
