Time for me to face facts: I'm a bad driver - I use my phone in the car too much. I check maps, I text, I take calls, I've even been known to read an email or two. Bad. Bad Bad. One thing that helps, though, is having a car mount - especially when you're using GPS to map where you are. If, like me, you're bone-headed enough to be interacting with the internets via your smartphone while driving, the least you can do it make sure the smartphone is in a decent position.
Today's prize, therefore, is the Arkon CM910 Vehicle Mount. It should work with pretty much any phone and it includes a suction cup mount, a dash mount (via double stick tape) and a vent mount too. So there aren't many cars that won't accommodate this little bugger somewhere.
How to Win
I gave you my mea culpa - now give us yours. What's the most bone-headed thing you do with your smartphone? Emails during a supposedly romantic dinner? Texting while driving? Leaving the ringer on the movie theater? Comment on this post between now and noon EST tomorrow, March 8th, with your confession of personal smartphone silliness.
Don't Forget: every entry doubles as an entry for the Grand Prize and the two Second Prizes - A Smartphone of your choice plus $300 to spend in the WMExperts store and a couple of Slingbox Pros. I should mention that we only have a few days left in our Prize-A-Day contest, so if you have some special-someone who needs a chance to upgrade their phone (or get a Slingbox!), let them know about us, hey?
(Full contest rules are here)
...and yes, I'm late announcing last week's winners. That'll be up later this afternoon. :)
I'm also guilty of using my Treo in the car too much. I also tend to use it in meetings and lose track of what's going on in the meeting. I can't tell you the number of times I've been asked a question and had the person to repeate the question because I was on my Treo.
