Default New In-Car Toy

Been playing with this for a while, seen the use of Torque on smartphones and I have been using Dash Comand on my iPhone.
So got my hands on a Samsung Tab3 and Samsung car mount loaded up Tourque pro and track recorder plugin happy days, still playing around with the dash layout but so far so good.
With wifi connection to my phone as hot spot got all the benefits of web/music/video/sky go/tv etc and large screen sat nav!
Surprised how solid the mount is, no wobble.
What you think?
And before you ask this will be taken inside or with me when I leave the car!

Yep, originally was going to use the 8" but used the 7" and seems ok, just a little bigger than a large sat nav
May move to the right? Will see.

I suppose (depending on how tall you are) all you are blocking the view off is the bonnet scoop.
