ABSTRACT:
An improved cradle assembly has a base with a mounting surface configured to removably receive a portable electronic device. The cradle assembly also has a cooler supported by the base to facilitate use of the portable electronic device in warm, or harsh, thermal environments. The cooler is positioned in thermally conductive relation with a portable electronic device that is received on the mounting surface. The cooler is operable to dissipate heat from the portable electronic device. In an alternative construction, a heat generator is substituted for the cooler to provide thermal heating of the portable electronic device in order to facilitate use of the device in cold, or harsh, thermal environments.
