Wi-Fi Reports-Podium for iPhone-The Magic Mini Monitor

By Faye Herl

Gone are the days of truly disposable income for most people. Every purchase has to be considered useful not frivolous. If you are thinking that you may want to buy a Podium for iPhone, be prepared to be $68 poorer. Is it going to be worth it? Consider whether you will get more use of this device as a mini monitor or a pocket stretcher at the office.

For those reeling from this crippled economy have to decide whether it is worth it to pay such a premium should you decide to buy the Podium for iPhone. What exactly does this price get you? Is the benefit worth the cost?

1. Podium for iPhone is a heavy , well balanced piece of equipment to hold you iPhone or iPod at the various angles that make it easy to see vids, check emails or utilized any of a number of apps people can no longer do without. Checking stocks, checking email and other apps such as eBay and Amazon are part of the everyday landscape for many people.

2. The heavier design with the eye pleasing curves are excellent components. Support for your iPhone is crucial in such a small device. Think a really, well balanced coffee mug for a boat versus a Styrofoam Big Slurpee. Most people will shell out big bucks for the privilege of having an iPhone, so accessories that function well at a good price are important. With the many apps that are available, you can utilize the iPhone to its fullest extent.

3. The companion accessories should allow for better utilization. In other words, if the Podium for iPhone winds up on the floor every time you try to use it, frustration will definitely be high and the stand would just turn into a glorified cup holder.

4. The design of the Podium with its ball and joint pivoting mechanism is great for a variety of adjustments. The stand itself will not have to be moved. This works great if space if tight.

3 out of 5 stars is the rating for this fine piece of equipment only because of the price. It does an excellent job for the iPhone or iPod. But the price has to be brought in line before there can be serious consideration.
