Mount for Ipod Touch

I searched and did not find a mount for an Ipod Touch specifically.
Anyone here using an Ipod Touch mounted on the bar?

Any recommendations ?

TIA

From what I have been able to understand, the ipod touch is not a good choice to use on the bike. Something about it having a hard drive. It sounds like the Nano works well.

I agree that the I-Pod Touch would not be a good choice on a bike due to the built-in accelerometer. The vibrations would not be healthy for it and you would end up needing a new Touch.

Touch is digital memory and works fine. I use a RAM Mount specifically for the Touch. I also have a waterproof box for it if I really need it.

Go here to Ram Mounts. Pick your type of iPod and then select the motorcycle tab. There you will find several mounting options.

The iPod Touch has flash memory not a hard drive.

just my opinion here. the touch requires more touching, hence the name. I have an older nano that if want to skip a song turn it up or lock it all together is much easier. the touch requires a marked amount more consintration to open and adjust. If I use my touch it will be used and not adjusted during riding. my nano I would have no problem playing with while crusing.

I wouldn't use the touch. Very difficult to change between songs, any of them are difficult but the touch seemed even harder to me. I use the nano, just make an extremely large playlist and away I go. You can pick up a waterproof case for the nano from www.otterbox.com and mount from Ram. This setup works great for me. Let me know if you want pics.
