Slava- I tried to connect with you about a great idea with a lot of potential. IHome used to make an encapsulated Ipod holer/player with a speaker that was battery operated. Those of us, like me, who commute 4,000 Miles/year, want to jam out to tunes, but also need to hear traffic and when other cyclists say “On your left”.
The electronics in the former IHome version, would fail after 3,000 miles or so, due to road vibration. They no longer make this model as the new Iphone and Ipod, do not fit it. So there’s a great market out there of guys like me that continue to use their ipod and want to ride safely and listen to tunes. I have two of these former units and would be willing to send one if for you to get a look at it, features, etc. I’m sure you could build something better. Let me know- regards- Steve Figgins cell 949-293-0999
Thanks, Steve! Very cool and it sounds like you have a lot of insight on this. If we end up going down the iPhone holder track we’d love to talk to you more about this.
What’s up, this weekend is nice in support of me, since this time i am reading this wonderful informative piece of writing here at my house.
