Kensington Computer Group (http://www.kensington.com) has introduced
a new car mount with amplified sound for use with any iPhone
navigation application. The US$39.99 mount allows iPhone users to
easily navigate while driving, as well as double the volume of
turn-by-turn directions from navigation applications.
The Kensington Windshield/Vent Car Mount with Sound Amplified Cradle
for iPhone acoustically increases speaker volume without additional
battery drain to the iPhone, allowing drivers to navigate while
keeping their eyes on the road, according to Federic Frappeau,
Kensington global product manager. The sounds amplifying cradle
mounts in seconds to a vehicle windshield or vent and holds an iPhone
securely even on the roughest terrain, he adds. Compatible with any
navigation application for iPhone, the cradle will be carried in all
Apple stores beginning in early November 2009.
