Getting on a treadmill, exercise bike or elliptical machine day after day can be an ordeal. While many fitness enthusiasts have turned to the iPad for a bit of entertainment there is the concern that the expensive tablet could take a tumble and that would be far from entertaining, and for most an exercise in disappointment and annoyance. For those who want to use the tablet but don’t to see it succumb to a mishap, Scosche Industries has released the fitRAIL, an exercise mount frame for the iPad/iPad 2 that securely holds onto the tablet while also clamped onto the exercise machine.
A neoprene clip-on strap attaches to the top of the tablet to ensure that the tablet is secure, while soft rubber feet prevent scratching to the machine. The clamps fold up so that the tablet can be carried easily in a gym bag. The Scosche fitRAIL, which is available now for $49.99, ensures that working out with the iPad doesn’t end up as a high-tech fail.
