The iPod or iPhone on your body or office, you only receive far. To go further, you'll probably want to use the device in your car or your bike. To prevent it from moving around you change speeds, you'll probably want to secure.
Car Mounts
The ideal way to get an iPod or iPhone in a car is one of the "iPod-integration" of units that car manufacturers are increasingly building in cars. If your car came without an iPod integration unit, you can add a third party to easily see next section for more details, but in many cases, you should replace your existing stereo.
For a less invasive, try a holder or assembly, such as:
•The series TuneDok TuneDok Belkin Car Holder (from $ 29.99; www.belkin.com) allows you to mount iPod models in the various cup holder of your car.
• The series of VentMount VentMount DLO ($ 24.99; www.dlo.com) allows you to mount an iPod or iPhone-yes, you guessed it, the AC vent, where it remains fresh and on hand .
• The WindowSeat WindowSeat Griffin Technology ($ 29.99; www.griffintechnology.com) allows you to mount your iPhone or iPod touch on the windshield of your car, your cards and put music to the eyes. The WindowSeat attaches with a suction cup and bracket allows you to rotate and tilt the screen to the proper position for viewing. The WindowSeat includes an audio cable to connect the iPhone or iPod to your car. If you need to power the iPhone or iPod, you can add a car charger like the PowerJolt (see later in this chapter). Resist the temptation to play the game Cro-Mag Rally driving on the desert stretches of I-80.
