You're completely missing the point. This isn't necessarily to imitate mounting a tablet somehwere. It's to provide a better headunit experience. Besides, aside from google now, and a handful of ICS/Jelly Bean only apps, there's not much advantage to having the Nexus 7 mounted somewhere.
I guess I prefer a cleaner, more streamlined look.
I have a Nexus 7 myself, and don't see any advantage to having that mounted somewhere on the dash or windshield in addition to a head unit. It seems like it would be a pain to operate both at the same time just access a few apps that wouldn't even necessarily be for cars.
And how would you hook up a steering wheel control, external monitors, backup camera, and radio to the tablet??? Either way you look at it, the head unit is a better option for a car.
