18. An apparatus for holding an electronic device, the apparatus comprising:
-
an interface surface; a central electrical contact on the interface surface; a first radial electrical contact on the interface surface; a first magnetic member near the first radial electrical contact; a first magnetic pole of the first magnetic member, the first magnetic pole facing the interface surface; and a second magnetic member near the central electrical contact; a second magnetic pole of the second magnetic member, the second magnetic pole facing the interface surface and being an opposite magnetic pole with respect to the first magnetic pole; and wherein magnetic attraction created by the first magnetic member substantially maintains the electronic device in position to interface with the apparatus.
