On a personal note, please never every buy cheaplak cables to connect to your Iphone/Ipods I've had many Ipods over the years and most have seen fairly high usage.. but my IPot is the only one with problems to its charging port now, because of a no-brand ipod cable ..
I bought it one day when I realized I was in the office (used to work in BTS) and had no cable to charge my IPot, so I went to a crappy store and bought a cheaplak rm 20 cable.. that thing had always been a "tight" fit into the port and now my IPoT even with an original cable needs to jiggle the cable a bit and not touch it for it to start charging  |

QUOTE(archive @ Oct 9 2009, 01:05 AM) I'm looking for a air-conditioner vent mounting clip for my iphone for use in my car. Something that will be ok with the fact that I've got a case on my phone (so a little adjustable). i've been looking at it as well but end up with suction cup that cost RM25.happy with it.don't buy the RM10 suction cup since i had an experienced before that the suction is not good.it will fall down.just imagine ur iphone fall when u r driving.hell no...Failing that, a windscreen mount (with suction cup), provided that it is legal here in Malaysia (I'm not sure of the laws, but it never seems to be the same anywhere I go, can anyone inform me?). Again, something that will accommodate the fact I've got my phone in a case. I'm wanting to mount it with good visibility to the sky through my windscreen for optimal GPS reception. I find if I have it sit in my center console, or mounted out of my cig lighter plug it can frequently lose reception, so I end up having to hold the thing out in front of my while I drive when I get lost which isn't the safest of things to do. So, can anyone recommend where to get either of these products? I live in petaling jaya, although I'm happy to make a trip into KL or anywhere else not too far away to pick something like this up.  |

Something that will be ok with the fact that I've got a case on my phone (so a little adjustable). i got mine from this mobile phone accessory shop in 1Utama, about RM20 bucks if i recall correctly. the whole package includes a windscreen mount with suction cup, and also an air-cond vent mounting clip together. i've been using the windscreen mount and it's been very sturdy so far.

Hi peeps,
Just wondering if anyone's using the Logitech Pure-Fi Dream? Any reviews? http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-player-spe...7-32572211.html This post has been edited by tinkerbel: Oct 15 2009, 12:03 PM |

It's much more expensive than purefi anytime(rm400+), hence i went and bought anytime instead. |

@viosowner,
Yeah the price of the Logitech Pure-Fi Dream is a bit steep. Anyhow, just wanna check, does the GSM thingy work; as in when a call comes in when the iPhone is docked in, does it give you any "noise"? Also, is RM970 a good price for it, in your opinion? |

QUOTE(tinkerbel @ Oct 15 2009, 02:00 PM) @viosowner, as i said, i'm not willing to pay 1k for a dock. If i have that cash, i will definitely go for Dream as the sound quality is so much nicer than Anytime.Yeah the price of the Logitech Pure-Fi Dream is a bit steep.

I recall I tested GSM and it worked. Don't take my word for it, just go to MidValley IT center. there is a Logitech store there with all the iphone/pod dockings displayed side by side for u to test. U can plug ur iphone in and try all features to ur heart's content. Then u will know wat i mean by Dream's audio is so much more better  |

If you went to Midvalley Logitech shop, Capdase Dock Connector for Apple is just RM 48. Yet you still can bargain maybe like RM 45. finally i decided to buy a brand called Capdase from Mac Studio, price is RM59 and the quality is way better than those X brand cable that I found in other store, and guess what?
