“The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaway: Day 24 – Belkin TuneBase Direct with Hands-Free
This contest is closed. Congrats to faithful Macenstein reader Leif.
On the Twenty-Fourth Day After Christmas, Macenstein gave to you (or, more accurately, gave you a chance to win…) The Belkin TuneBase Direct with Hands-Free!
Sure we all love our iPhones, but who likes crashing our cars and dying while using them? Not me, that’s for sure. That’s why I’m pretty jealous of whoever wins this Belkin TuneBase Direct with Hands-Free.
Talk Hands-Free and Listen to Your Playlist—Without Missing A Beat
Listen to your iPod or iPhone music and talk hands-free through your car stereo system. TuneBase Direct connects directly through your car stereo’s auxiliary input jack (3.5mm cable included), so you get the best possible sound for your playlist and your calls.
Make and receive calls with the push of a button. If your iPhone is playing music when a call comes in, the music automatically fades out. You’ll hear the caller’s voice on speakerphone loud and clear through your car’s stereo speakers.
Swivel It
The innovative cradle holds your device securely while you drive and swivels horizontally for easy viewing of your device’s GPS features, like turn-by-turn directions. It also makes it easier for passengers to watch videos.A Perfect Fit
The unique cradle easily adjusts to fit most iPods and iPhones—even with a case on.
Arrive Fully Charged
TuneBase Direct charges your device through your car’s 12-volt lighter outlet, so you can listen or talk without interruption—even on the longest road trip. An additional USB port even allows you to charge a second device while you drive
To enter: Speaking of dying while driving, I’m curious just how negligent my readers are. So to that end, leave me a comment telling me Do you ever text while driving? Winner will be picked randomly 7 days later and notified (kind of like in The Ring, only with less killing… we hope). Open to all readers world-wide. Good luck, and thanks for reading Macenstein! (Oh, and be sure to enter ALL our “12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaways!)
Please note: Comments may take a while to show up, please do not double-post. Thanks!
We can say yes… I use the App Dictation and then send the text into a SMS so yeah we can say yes… xD!!!
Not yet…
Never, and I honk at people that use their cell phones driving around me – screw you.
Only when I’m driving the school bus.
yes
Nope.
I try not to but sometimes you just have to. I’m not proud of it though.
Definitely not
I don’t have a text plan, so I don’t text while doing anything.
never
rarely and only at stop lights
Hell no…I can barely text sitting down let alone in a moving vehicle….
Never
What is a text? I do other things while driving 😉
never text
i don’t actually do the texting. i’ll read one real quick, but i wait for a red light before i do any typing.
never
No, but sometimes I email. haha.
Only if I’m waiting at a really long light.
I used to text while stopped at red lights/railroad crossings, etc. Now that it’s against the law here, I don’t want to take the chance of getting a ticket even if I’m not moving.
I can´t even think it. Even if it was legal, I’m unable to do both things at the same time :S
Honestly, yeah, I have. Right after, I feel stupid every time.
only when I’m at stop lights…and driving slow…and on the freeway a little but in traffic. I’m a dead man.
Only if it directly impacts my destination.
yes
Well…, yes…, no…, sometimes…
I have texted… but try not too… only when i’m at a complete stop and put down my phone once i start driving
Yes.
Read but don’t write.
Only at stop lights.
yes. but if i had this..
No texting since I got the iPhone, anyways.
Yep, but my wife forbids it
No ocifer, I wasn’t texting….
No.
I don’t text, period. Oh, then again, I don’t drive, either- public transit or bicycle.
I tried texting 2 or 3 times but I realized that the danger of doing that is too big.
Very rarely. I do agree that it is very dangerous and should not be done.
Texting while driving is so retarded….but I’ll throw a one word reply while stopped at a light.
Nope.
Not as a rule, however i have done it from time to time, often resulting in poor spelling.
No, I can barely manage 1 char/sec while standing still…
nope. if it’s urgent i park, write and go on
No, I don’t.
texting? only ingesting text from a paper-based product
With my iPhone it’s just IMPOSSIBLE.
My old Nokia 3310 was the best for that.
Nope. I once had to car for a woman who was on her phone that caused an accident and her life was destroyed because of those few seconds. Terrible.
Unfortunately, yes.
never, except the times when I texted while drive.
Texting at red lights do not count
