1. A universal mobile computing device mount comprising:
a body;
a clamp arm slidably engaged with the body for slidable translation between an extended position and retracted position, the clamp arm connected to a biasing mechanism inwardly biasing the clamp arm toward the retracted position and wherein the clamp arm is configured to engage an edge surface of a mobile computing device; and
an insertable electrical connector pivotably mounted in the clamp arm, the electrical connector being pivotable relative to the clamp arm to promote angular alignment of the electrical connector with a complementary electrical receptacle in the edge surface of the mobile computing device during mounting of the mobile computing device into the universal mobile computing device mount.
