Bike-o-Meter accessory for the Siemens M65 Mobile Phone
Siemens Germany has released an optional IBS-600 Bike-o-meter which transforms the M65 mobile phone into an innovative bike computer, and simultaneously serves as a holder for the phone, informs Gizmag.
The Bike-o-Meter's set includes all the functionality of a bike computer (speedometer, time, maximum and average speed and other related calculations), and it can also display predefined route information. Users can use the M65 to retrieve training routes entered previously, or to save new tours with waypoints.
The performance figures for a training route, recorded while covering the route, are saved automatically and the collected training data can simply be compared over a period of time. Siemens also plans to release a range of bike routes on the internet for downloading to your mobile phone. Moreover, a digital camera in the phone to ensure everything gets captured.
The M65 is mounted on the handlebars in a robust holder and can withstand high speeds and jumps. Metal frame and rubber elements protect the M65 from dust, water splashes and knocks.
