Default My solution for an Ipod touch holder...
or Iphone in my case. I got a ram mount. I drilled two holes in my extended dash and mounted the base of the ram mount on it. Here is a quick pic before the dash gets remounted. Tjhe mount can be mvoed in nearly any psotion so it will not be in front of the speedo while I am riding.

Did you try turning off the shake to shuffle? I listened to mine for about 6 hours the other day with no issue. It is in the settings under ipod.

I have both the nano and the iphone 3G and didn't even know these were settings in either of them!

I knew there was a problem when I started riding and it skipped to the next song after 3 seconds or so continuously. I borrowed my buddies phone on Sunday after my battery was running low and it did the same until I changed the settings.

My 3Gs plays just fine, in that Boom! magnet pouch, sitting on my tank.

But yes, took me a couple hours to figure out the "shake to shuffle" option. But once I turned that off, I've had no problems since.

Drew, is that a permanent solution, what if you want to ride without it?

I can take off Everything except the bottom piece which is bolted to the dash. I don't see myself riding without my phone regardless. Tunes are nice to have. I am still waiting for the phone to ring when i am blasting my tunes in traffic to watch all the people in the cars look around and wonder who is ringing so loud. Don't worry, i won't answer, I have no mic.
