I use a tablet for my connectivity needs. Because it is not a cell phone, I'm in the clear.

So do you use one of these?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest that the iPad Steering Wheel Mount is a prank. Overall, the webste looks like a legitimate business offering. At the bottom of the About page, there's a reference to a patent for Duct Tape. I guess that's the "funny," or possibly the guy gets a good chuckle at irate emails sent to him.

This is nothing... I was driving from St.Louis to Springfield, Ill and I happened to look over and saw someone reading the newspaper while driving.
This kind of shit is not abnormal.

Simply the fact that anyone can seriously consider selling this, is what scares me the most.

The worst part is that they try to push it as being "safe" (granted, I'll say it's safer than using an iPad while it is not mounted somewhere, but simply using an iPad AT ALL while driving (except as a navigation system, music player, or so on that you're not physically interacting with) is totally moronic)

And it won't void your warrenty! .

This should be illegal to do

... also, the manufacturing facilities are so state-of-the-crackhouse.

I was more impressed by their location in a "Michigan renaissance zone." Fortunately they are out of product, otherwise they may have to take some time to figure out what to do with all those credit card numbers in their inbox.
