iPhone Mount

[stevesnj]

Okay the new iPhone is coming out (July 11) and it looks like a few companies, TomTom and Garmin, will be making GPS software for it. So I want to be able to mount my iPhone on my bike somehow and a nice sturdy mount is on the top of my list. I don't mind spending money on a mount as long as the phone is secure and looks good I will buy it.

Any ideas on a mount I can find online? Any help will be appreciated.

well the phone is not waterproof and unless you are very young with GREAT vision you will not be reading it while on the bike so... put the phone in you pocket and buy a Gamin ZUMO 550 == they work great and you can read it and operate with gloves on

I love my I phone and my ZUMO

Why cant I read it...the iPhone has the same size screen and higher resolution than the zumo and I can read the display in full sunlight with my sunglasses on

Many waterproof cases are also available

FONT SIZE .... the IPHONE has smaller text size ( I know you can stretch it -- I have one)

at 70MPH you will have some difficultywith the I PHONE that is not there with the ZUMO

that is just my observation .... I own both...

you can buy either ......or...... none... no worries to me

you can use them in tandem with the bluetooth function they interface nicely... right ANT mb (he owns & uses both as well)

if you want to use the iphone GPS while stopped ---- that would work well

but on the GO .....ZUMO has it in my book

well once i get the phone i'll let everyone know for sure since we are both speculating...and the font size on the iPhone will have to be large if GArmin and TomTom make somftware for the iPhone...would be silly to make small fonts for GPS on iPhone...don't u think?

no the phone is not designed to be read while riding a motorcyle the Zumo is....

and I am not specualating as I have both units ...and the current phone has the map software and the font is small....

peace out

Well since the iPhone and software is not out my question is HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?

Maybe you could be wrong?

Yes and The TomTom and Garmin Software are not out and the phone itself is not even on sale!

So where did you get the map software? ITS NOT OUT YET!!! so how do you know the font is too small?

Here is the prototype software and in this pic the iPhone is shown actual size and I can read it fro 4ft away U need your eyes checked pal.



Please enlighten me?:confus ed:
