MTB'ing is a bit different to commuting! even easy cross country type stuff throws up bumps enough to dislodge lights let alone phones in handlebar mounts. I know, I had my nokia set up with an app similar to the one you describe and it was constantly falling out whilst hurtling down a hill at 20+ mph. I cant imagine any touchscreen device surviving one of those type rides!
also i think the screen on a normal nokia is many times stronger than a touch screen (not just the iphone but any touchscreen) just because of the nature of them. Ive seen probably over 10 smashed iphone screens when using them for activity's such as snowboarding/biking etc, it really doesn't take much of a direct hit to wreck it. if you want something for biking then i'd think again, the iphone in the back pack is an option as it can monitor speeds/distances which is interesting for later viewing but for mapping purposes offroad i'd question its suitability. this all said, i still dont know what op requirements are! -- trouty00 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ trouty00's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30875 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65750 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
