I have a little iPod Shuffle I use. I clip it on my belt and run the cord under my shirt or jacket to keep it from blowing around in the wind. Works great for me.

I carry one in my jacket pocket so I can listen to it when I get to where I'm going. On the ride, there are enough distracted people; I don't need to be one of them.

I took the radio out of my car so I feel at home on the days that I can't take the bike.

Here is an article featured on HotBikeweb.com with a nice 03 with an Ipod mounted in the dash. Might be able to get some info from Hot Bike on the dash and make it work for your application. Cheers!

X2...iPod Shuffle...best $50 I've spent on the bike so far. Easy one finger operation by feel....453 songs on it......very small.....aluminum....I take it on every ride. I also have the Vmoda Vibe Duo buds...great sound.

I've already got job related tinnitus so I guess I don't need one of those gadgets.

Don't leave home without it. Have a Otterbox waterproof carrier, works great! Right along with the "Latte" holder. Anyone have a good idea for a biscotti tray? Windshield mount?

I picked up a $15 dash mount from Best Buy, mounted it to my fairing and carry my Nano there, running it thru the radio. Not weather proof, but holds nice at 75mph.
