Definitely consider that which you said. Your favourite justification appeared to be at the net the easiest factor to consider of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed at the same time as people think about concerns that they just do not realize about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the highest and also defined out the entire thing without having side-effects , other folks could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

I smoked cigarettes for as long as I can remember and giving them up was harder than you can imagine. I bought all of the quit smoking products but not one helped. Then I saw the e cigarette. The e-cigarette uses a nicotine juice that has nothing but nicotine. No poisons at all. They have actually saved my life.

I became studying anything else about this on another website. Useful. Your perspective on it's diametrically opposed to what I go through to begin with. I am still contemplating over the numerous details of view, but I’m tipped to some good extent toward yours. And regardless of, which is what is really excellent about modern-day democracy plus the marketplace of tips on the web.

Considered to be the safest alternative to tobacco cigarettes, electronic cigarettes are as lovely as they sound. Essentially, they are cigarette-shaped devices that do not require a flame. While electronic cigarettes do contain nicotine, it is the only chemical that users inhale, allowing them to satisfy their cravings while avoiding most of the health risks of smoking. Smokeless delite is the world's largest distributor of electronic cigarettes and is committed to providing smokers with the nicotine sensations they are used to without the added social and medical problems.

Good thing it is adjustable to accommodate several different devices and lighter sockets..That's something to be said. Bravo!

By: Rene Ritchie

Checked with Dieter, who said:

"the connector is no problem - the 'feet' on the bottom of the mount can be slid to accomodate a plug."

Can somebody tell me if the bottom brackets are wide enough to allow for a cable to connect to the iphone?!?!?!? how come the review doesn't give this kind of essential info??!?!

I agree with Steve. I just need a mount to hold my phone. I don't need it to charge my phone as I have a charger everywhere else. If I really wanted to I can charge in my car while this is mounted with my separate charger. Could care less about an FM transmitter as I have a hard wired ipod for my car already. I put in an order for one today. Thanks for the review! If only they would come out with better looking mounts. This thing would be fine in a truck but in a luxury car it would just not look right.

Brian, I am looking for a mount like this that leaves the ipod connection in the bottom open as I have a cable connected to my stereo that provides power to my iPod and sends the audio straight to my car speakers. Are the bottom brackets wide enough to allow this type of a plug through? If so this is a perfect item as I have a second cig. lighter plug in my vehicle for other things and it would put the iPod out of the way. Thanks,

By: Steve

Steve — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 21:05:17 +0000

I think this whole argument is missing a bit of the point. If someone wants a FM transmitter and/or charger they will be looking at a different product. I don't want either or need either, I am looking for exactly what this product does, hold the damn thing. How am I "losing" a slot if I don't want it charged? The device is cheap and according to the review does exactly what it is supposed to. I have been looking for just such an item and wanted to know about the "stiffness" of the gooseneck and the easy ability to adjust the arms for an iPhone or iPod. The review answered both my questions. More power to the reviewer if he sells the darn thing, remember this is America people should are allowed to make a buck.

We loves us our commenters too

"Wastes a socket" is definitely a con, however, as if you want that for something else (even non iPhone related), you may prefer a mount that goes somewhere else.

For me, since I plug other devices in there, this product is a non-starter. Dash, vent, etc. are the only options I can roll with.

My FM transmitter, being an iPhone 2G legacy, doesn't charge my 3G due to lack of Firewire pin in the 3G (I only get interference when it drops to EDGE, however, as opposed to the 2G which was fairly constant).

daniel — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 12:34:49 +0000

Well put wonder Webb.

An FM transmitter can be problematic due to inteferance, but it's still the best solution for cars with no mp3 sockets.

Rest assured I'll be checking out future reviews Brian. Can't wait for your next one!

Waste of money I brought a charger fm transmitter which also works great as a handsfree for £12 which looks identical to that contraption but does loads more. You gotta be selling those or maybe that's what I got before it's gone to the factory to have the electronics fitted hehee!

By: Brian Hart

Brian Hart — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 19:45:42 +0000

Daniel, I think it's well known how you feel about this item. All product reviews hit the front page, whether the site sells them or not. I think an FM transmitter is problematic because the iPhone's cell radio generally interferes with a car stereo, at least in my car it does.

If you really think the reviewers are biased, just stay tuned. I'll be reviewing a Bluetooth headset that I despise (and yes, it sells in the store). You should also consider reading other reviews for comparison. Good luck!

daniel — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 19:14:58 +0000

You are right Brain, I have not demo'd the product and surprise surprise, its not at the top of my shopping list.

However my general advice is stay well clear of a mount which uses the lighter socket but will not charge your iphone, as we all know that its battery life leaves a lot to be desired. And if you're in the market for a mount, look out for one which has a built in fm transmitter too.

Quick question Brian, if you thought the item was rubbish, and would only have given it 1 star out of five, would you still have stuck it up on the home page of tipb and helpfully recommended us not to buy it? (even though it was for sale in your shop)

By: Brian Hart

Brian Hart — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 16:24:56 +0000

@daniel. Your feedback/comments are appreciated! Having not demo'd the product yourself, daniel, what rating would you give it? Maybe others can benefit from your insight.

By: daniel

daniel — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 14:43:05 +0000

In that case Rene, why did Brian put as one of the Cons to the above item: "Does not charge your device" surely he is judging unfairly. Following your reasoning it should then really be a 5/5 item if it does exactly what it says its meant to do.

My "expert" opinion, I don't think you'll sell any, no fm transmiter, no charger...won't sell.

And thanks ever so much for leaving my comments up here, it keeps me coming back to have a look. Oh, and I do actually like this site, so keep up the good work! especially you Brian

By: Rene Ritchie

Rene Ritchie — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 13:11:20 +0000

It should be a charger. I would prefer a charger. But it's not a charger. It doesn't claim to be a charger.

Would I like my car better if it were also a submarine? Sure. But its not. Also doesn't claim to be.

Negative reviews are great (as are negative reviews of our reviews!). Better people know something sucks than buy it and feel they've been ripped off. But fair reviews are also important. This is a car mount, not a car charger. Is it good at what it is? That's all Brian has to -- and should consider.

Imagine Ebert: "I liked this Julia Roberts movie, but not enough Kung-Fu. I'm going to rate it "thumbs down" (TM) because Jet Li wasn't in "Tender Moments" with her. Dagnabit."

World, and reviews, don't work that way.

Now, if you think it's a wretched excuse for a non-charging car mount, then say so, and hopefully people can weigh your expert opinion against Brian's and decide for themselves. That's why we leave comments on :)

I thought about getting one, but if my phone is too close to my stereo I get bad interferece noises through the speakers.

By: Brian Hart

Brian Hart — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 21:02:58 +0000

@daniel: if you read closely, you will notice that I point out this deficiency, otherwise it could have earned 5 stars because it performs admirably in every other way. It's not a bad price for what it does (again, I pointed this out): it's a simple design, it holds your device securely, and makes your device viewable so you can keep your hands free for other things (like driving, for instance).

By: daniel

daniel — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 20:28:59 +0000

4 out 5 for something which does not charge your iphone and still uses up the cigarette lighter socket?? Are you by any chance selling this item and trying to promote it?? oh yes....so you are.
