A holder, electrical supply, and optional RF transmitter unit to hold,
supply power to, and receive a data signal from an operating electronic
device when the device (e.g., MP3 player) is held in the unit is
disclosed. Electrical power enters the unit's power acquisition portion
(e.g., cigarette lighter adapter) from an external source and flows to
the electronic device via the holder. A data signal from the electronic
device is processed by an RF transmitter in the unit, and the resulting
RF signal is broadcast by an antenna (e.g., gooseneck) that preferably
forms a repositionable mechanical connection between the holder and the
power acquisition unit.
