If you have an iPhone, and ride a motorcycle, this might be a great product for you. As we motorcycling-iPhone users know, more and more applications are hitting iTunes that are of use to us while on the road. GPS navigation software, radar trap alerts, music-on-the-go, traffic info, and obviously mobile phone communications.
If you're not in the market for an intercom, and don't want the hassle of Bluetooth, this product would seem like a good solution. iBike Rider  .
iBike Rider is a wired hands free solution for motorcycles riders with an iPhone. It'll work for any type of helmet. The lead gets plugged into the iPhone, and at the helmet side, you install, using velcro and self-adhesive glue, the microphone and ultra-thin loudspeakers. You've got a microphone and two loudspeakers, allowing you to listen to stereo music, and talk on the phone. The microphone has been made for motorcycles, since it removes any wind noise coming into it.
On the outside, there's a small button, that according to the manufacturer, can be operated with your gloves. This can be used to regulate the sound volume by turning the tumble wheel on the device.
All units are rain proof, so it doesn't matter if it rains.
You can put your iPhone in your pocket, but if you're using your iPhone for visual information (navigation, alerts, etc), you'll need to place the phone in a place you can see it. One of the possibilities offered by the manufacturers, is the sleeve system already written about by us {link}. Called So Easy Rider, the cover can be strapped to your arm, allowing you to see the iPhone display, and even operate it with your right hand.
You can even attach another battery, giving your iPhone more time to run, instead of the pathetic time it has at this moment.
So you've got several possibilities for buying the package; basic communication package (lead / microphone / loud speakers), Waterproof cover,
extra batteries, etc and any combination of the above.
