Just bought the iPhone 5 to replace my iPhone 4.
Can I trade in my iPhone 4 iBike phonebooth to a new Phonebooth that is compatible with my Iphone 5 and still have all the same functionality of my current iBike Dash with Power?
If so I do i do it?...............jbeau

At present we do not have a + Power case that works with the iPhone 5.

Any expectation when one will be available? If not any suggestions? It is a downer to lose iDash power functionality simply due to phone upgrade. Although, I am a bit confused how iBike currently offers an iDash Phonebooth for iPhone 5 with functionality for all but power output.
First time I have been disappointed due to a lapse in offerings that will affect my training....

The lightning connector is a HUGE change.
We are using Bluetooth Smart sensors for iPhone 5, which means that we don't need a connector.

Now I'm stuck. Any suggestions of options with my current iPhone 5 to continue my training with an iBike solution? How long till power option exists for iPhone 5 iDash with Power users?
What would happen if I buy/trade in to use an Iphone 5 phonebooth and run my current iBike Software V 1.0.19?

If you want to train with power in the near-term, your options are:
1) purchase a Newton (contact us for upgrade pricing)
2) Use your iPhone 4 with the + Power
3) Purchase an older-generation iPod touch

John-
I have a 4th Generation 8GB iPod Touch that my kid is no longer using. While you are developing the technology for the iDash + Power for the iPhone 5 can I use this iPod touch in my current iPhone 4 iBike Phonebooth if I download the app to the iPod Touch? Do I need anything else, the iPod touch appears thinner than my iPhone 4, will it fit secuerly in my current Phonebooth?........Thanks for the help and potential option

Yes, that iPod touch will work perfectly.
You'll need an adapter kit for your case; please email
tgore@velocomp.com for details.
Then download the apps...and ride!
