My impression was that, when you buy an expensive gadget, you want to protect it from anything that could break it. Apparently some people missed that point, or are counting on only having perfect bikers as customers.

The Bike Mount Holder for iPhone / iPod / PDA / GPS offers a way to keep your gadget in front of you at all times while biking. A praise-worthy intention, but I wonder if the designers have ever ridden a bicycle. If you happen to fall off the bike (or with the bike), the iPhone or iPod or whatever will get smashed. We don’t want that, do we? Also, having the controls handy probably isn’t the best idea ever. If you’re concentrating on the next song instead of the road you might end up in a close encounter with a car or a sidewalk… (resulting in a broken gadgets and limbs).

I’ve never felt less than adequate because the everyday objects I use don’t have an exciting story. They were made in a factory, ended up in a store, then I bought them and I’ll use them until they break down. Simple.

But, seeing as people actually buy things like a dress worn by some starlet at the premiere of her first chick-flick… The Flown in Space iPod/PDA/Blackberry Case wasn’t actually in space - part of it was. Its front flap features a piece of ISS Soyuz TMA-3 landing parachute, which is supposed to make it very exciting.

I’m sorry, I fail to be impressed. It’s just a case… it doesn’t even look good. Just for the memorabilia-addicts, I’d say.
