G’Day

A previous blog entry (A Gathering of RAM mounts) showed the iPhone mounted on its ram mount and plugged into the StarCom1 Digital via a lead. As the iPhone was used for music only and I wished to carry the phone on my person, a new method of providing music was needed.

Touch devices (Apple) do not work with motorcycle gloves so manual controls was the go. Enter the iPod shuffle. Made a quick mounting bracket.

Around a thousand songs and/or podcasts. Aluminium body, robust construction, solid state drive, click controls and buttons useable with gloves on. Runs for around 15 hours on a full charge. Purchased a Belkin USB charger and unit can be charged by the bike. Might purchase a second shuffle. One playing one on charge.
