Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

On December 5, 2007, the Board of Directors of Mobility Electronics, Inc. (“Mobility”) voted to appoint Peter L. Ax as a new member of Mobility’s Board of Directors. Mr. Ax, who was appointed to fill a vacancy on Mobility’s Board and who will serve as a Class I director, is an independent director.

Peter L. Ax, 48, has served as a director of Meritage Homes Corporation (NYSE: MTH) since 2002 and is the managing partner of Phoenix Capital Management, a merchant banking firm. Mr. Ax is the former chairman and chief executive officer of SpinCycle, Inc., a publicly held consolidator and developer of coin-operated Laundromats. Previously, Mr. Ax served as head of the Private Equity Division and senior vice president of Lehman Brothers in New York. Mr. Ax is also on the board of directors of Medit Marketing, Inc. and serves on the Advisory Board of Directors of Cascadia Capital, a Seattle based investment banking and merchant banking firm. Mr. Ax holds an M.B.A. from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and a law degree from the University of Arizona, and has been a certified public accountant. He has also been an accounting instructor at the Wharton School.

Mr. Ax received 25,000 restricted stock units in connection with his appointment to the Board, which units were awarded as a pro-rated grant under the 2004 Mobility Electronics, Inc. Non-Employee Director Plan (the “2004 Director Plan”) and will vest in full on June 11, 2010 or earlier, in full, upon a change of control event or, on a pro rata basis, upon Mr. Ax’s earlier death, disability, or retirement. As a non-employee director, Mr. Ax is also entitled to receive an annual cash retainer of $30,000 per year, a meeting fee of $3,500 for each annual meeting of stockholders, a cash meeting fee of $2,500 for each board meeting attended in person, and a cash meeting fee of $600 for each committee meeting and telephonic board meeting. In order to more evenly distribute the members of Mobility’s Board of Directors between the various director classes, Michael D. Heil was switched from a Class I member of the Board to a Class III member of the Board.

In addition, on December 5, 2007, the Board revised the structure of its committees as follows:

	•		Audit Committee: Jeffrey R. Harris, Chairman, Peter L. Ax and Michael J. Larson.

	•		Compensation & Human Resources Committee: William O. Hunt, Chairman, Larry M. Carr and Michael J. Larson.

	•		Corporate Governance & Nominating Committee: Larry M. Carr, Chairman, Peter L. Ax and William O. Hunt.

In connection with the revised structure of the Board committees, Mr. Ax and Mr. Larson each received a pro-rated grant of 2,000 restricted stock units under the 2004 Director Plan as a result of Mr. Ax’s appointment to the Audit Committee and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, and Mr. Larson’s appointment to the Audit Committee and Compensation and Human Resources Committee. These restricted stock units will vest in full on June 11, 2008 or earlier, in full, upon a change of control event or, on a pro rata basis, upon the individual’s earlier death, disability, or retirement.

Except as described above, there is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Ax and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Ax was appointed as a member of Mobility’s Board.

On December 7, 2007, Mobility issued a press release announcing the appointment of Mr. Ax as a new director. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by this reference.
