iPod/iPhone question
Has anybody used an iPhone instead of a iPod for music on there bike?
 \\;\\\\\\;
I have a 30g iPod with video and 80g Classic and of course they are not good to use because of the hard drive, but the largest capacity nano is only 8g. \\;\\\\\\; The iPhone you can get in 16g so I can have more music with me.
 \\;\\\\\\;
Thanks

The new iPhone seems like a good choice, since it has GPS functions and maps that could come in handy. \\; I hope others have something to add to the topic.

My Road Glide has about 7000 miles on it and my 80 gig ipod classic has about 5000. \\; I use the aux cable and plug into the stock stereo unit. \\; The only problem that I have is that it doesn't charge it. \\; Of course, I've got the lighter socket for that, but I like the setup in the car that charges it while it plays. \\; It may be hard on the ipod hard drive but in my experience, they're pretty tough little machines.

RE: iPod/iPhone question
Just an extra bit of info...my LG VX8600 phone works great with the plug in, phone only has 2G \\; memory max, it will handle hundreds of MP3 songs, kind of hard to change songs \\;though while riding, I just turn it on and let play while riding.

RE: iPod/iPhone question
I have used both the 8GB Nano and now my 8GB iPhone. It can carry 1600 songs, enough for a short ride 
 \\;
I use a iPhone mount by RAM. It works great.
 \\;
One \\;caveat, if you use the first generation iPhone, you need a special cable as the jack is recessed on the phone.

Is that going to be the case with the new 3G model?

The new 3G iPhone has " a flush headphone jack". That should take care of the need for a special cable.

Perfect, now all I go to do is wait till the end of the year when they are realistically available!
