Abstract: A mobile telephone console for use in a motor vehicle includes arcuate side shoulders on an upper surface supporting the telephone to guide the hand of the user to the telephone to release it from the telephone cradle. The console may have a writing table assembly removably connected thereto by a stab joint arrangement between an elongate table support arm and a slot in the console. The writing table is pivotable on the support arm between a deploying position for use by the driver or a storage position when the table assembly is removed from the console.
