Samsung Q1 hits the Autobahn!

Q1_car1_1OK, the reports of the Autobahn are unconfirmed, but we do know that one of our jkOTR readers from Germany just mounted his Q1 to his car! How do we know this? Christoph sent us pics from the World Cup mecca, that's how! Looks like Samsung offers a car mount that I haven't seen here in the States. If you've got the bandwidth, Christoph has the pictures, so click on for the full visual step-by-step; I'll keep the pics a little smaller for those who are bandwidth-challenged. There's room for all kinds of folks here at jkOTR and we strive to be mobilitically-correct.

Thanks for the pics Christoph! For folks wondering if he likes his purchase, here's a short quote: "All in all, the Q1 is a great gadget! I agree totally that one has to find a use for it first, but it proves in day to day life. Whether it is writing down notes or playing a quick round Mario with a Nintendo 64 emulator and a PS2-to-USB joypad adapter - it is great." OK, now go rev your engines and your Q1 Christoph; if your Sammy does hit the Autobahn, snap a pic for us!

Comments

Is not that too close to the windshield?
It seems to me that here in Florida the sun wont allow me to see anything if I put either the Q1 or the eo in that place.

wonder when we will see it here and how much doh will it be...

im exploring other options... i dont plan to mount it on everyday, only on road trips.

i already have an usb gps used for years with delorme streets and ms streets for us & canadian roads. i plan to port it to my q1.

my dash has a windsheid cup-suck mount memo pad thingy that may be somehow tied to my q1 and hold it.

one seller by ebay $200, same cradle. but check out weekendtechs.net for an alternative.

Where can I get a car cardle? Can anyone answer that?!

were o were can i find a car cradle for my samsung q1 does anyone know

I saw ICUBE sells this for $170+. Ask for Yuni, she can sell you for $150 shipped.
