Note that in the last shot, the 'stand' is not included with the Tab-Tite. You have to buy whatever type of mounting hardware fits your needs.
Once I get this mounted in my truck, I'll share a few more pics.

very cool. makes me consider figuring out how to do the gps teathering.

OK. Go it mounted in the truck:
I have a small Bluetooth GPS (velco'd to the dash right above the tablet. The USB cable to the GPS is just for charging/power.
Of course you can see my phone & Zune setup too. I use the Zune for media rather than the tablet.

So, you have a Hitchikers Guide, a vogon poetry playback device, and a babelfish Droid X model, but where is all important towel? Or did you need it after you were done with this, being so pleased with yourself? Just kidding. It looks really good.

Cool!
Thanks for the lead,
This is what I was looking for for my [email protected]
Pictures coming soon!

and a ZUNE! how awesome!

Which mount system did you use to set this up?
second, now that you've used the tab-Tite, how do you feel it performs in holding the tablet?It looks like in the pictures you have it situated in the middle of the end holders. Did you place something at edges to keep it there, or is it holding by itself? The one thing I worry about is how the spring loaded arms do their job. Are they held secure? and how easily does your tab come in and out of the holder? Thanks...

I have the post mount (see my pictures at the beginning of the thread) screwed to the base of the center console. This is a pretty stable & secure setup. I get some minor vibrations/bouncing when I hit bumps (this is a truck, btw .. not a cadillac ) But all in all it's very stable.
The tablet is pretty easy to insert & remove into the holder. The holder does an admirable job of holding onto the tablet. Just out of habit, when I put the tablet in, I then to semi-center it in the holder (so that there is 'open' space above and below the tablet). After riding a bit, some of bounces/vibrations will let the tablet slide down a bit in the holder, but not much. Again, this has proven to be a pretty stable platform.
I try to leave the mount tight enough so that it won't move, but I can still grab the mount with both hands and tilt/adjust if I need to.
The reason I wanted this type of mount rather than a custom/fixed mount is for screen glare. When the sun comes in at various angles, the screen is unusable. This setup allows me to move/tilt the tablet just enough in any direction to avoid sunlight.
After having used this for a while now, I'm finding that the console area is a little cluttered. With my phone holder, a drink, etc all vying for space. Makes entering addresses into the tablet a little tough.
I'm now thinking about moving the mount up to the area where the ZUNE is now, and just letting it 'stick out'. If I decide to move it, I'll post some more pictures.

I was looking at that one, but was worried that it stated a .56" depth max, and gtab having a .7" depth. I think I will be picking this one up. As far as a pole mount and where to mount it, I had two thoughts. Mount through furthest cupholder from driver to base of floor. With cupholders in the door of my Blazers, didn't think this would be an issue. If that's too close, I might investigate mounting base to pass. side of center hub if ball mounts would allow proper angles to use. O some other way...whatever comes up.

Spend a little time looking through Ram-Mounts parts lists. These things are almost like Lego's ... you can match them together to make just about any combination.
Before going to this setup with the tablet, I used to use their tough-mount laptop solution along with a vehicle specific base mount. Might look to see if they make seat-bolt pattern mount for your vehicle. Then you can put a pole mount, or any other setup straight to that base without drilling/screwing up your vehicle.

I decided to move the mount up on the dash a little bit. Gives me a much better viewing angle and easier to enter addresses, etc.
I get a little bit of 'bounce', but very manageable.

Looks great. absolutely perfect. good job.

They sell a Xoom version aswell, and the dimensions look like the gtab could fit perfectly.
What u reckon??
