What do you guys think?  Will it fit the 5600?

Thanks

it should fit!

That is great timing.  I installed a new stereo system in my truck today and one of the first things I did was hook my zaurus up to the aux input.  Maybe I\'m just a geek... but I swear mp3s sound cleaner when played on the zaurus than when played on my CD/MP3 deck.

Ya the zaurus plays mp3s better than cd players etc.! It\'s VERY Clear

I havn\'t tried this.  

But have you looked at RAM mounts (see gpscity.com)?

RAM mounts has a side grip like that one.  But they also have two other universal grips - PD1 & PD2.  I have both.  The PD1 fits perfectly on my 5600.  And the PD2 works fine for the 6000.  The side grip mount (like the one above) looks like it protrudes too much in front with the two grip paddles.  The PD1 and PD2 do not.

RAM mounts has a immense assortment of plug&play connectors, including the flexible neck mount, and the one I find most universal -- the weighted non-skid base which can be placed virtually anywhere without need for glue, screws, cupholders, or vent-clips.  The 1\" ball and arm system seems to be the appropriate size for pda\'s.  Notice they have sizes ranging from cell-phone to laptop holders for nearly any application.

my 5600 fits perfectly in the cup holder of both my car and truck.

mjalkut, can you post a link to exactly what you have for your 5600?  I did a search, but wasn\'t really sure what I was looking for.

Here is the ram-mounts page (which you probably found already):

Here is the specific cradle that fits the 5600:
