 I'd love a little wrist mount for an openmoko phone.  It'd be a
 wonderful place to mount it in GPS mode when on a motorcycle.

I don't know about you, but I would want the GPS to live in the middle in 
front of me, not on my wrist which is pretty much out of my normal field of 
view on a motorbike...

It's also good for usage with bluetooth keyboard!

I think it's a good idea. Not only on a bicycle but also for
applications in warehouse where people use a vertical application
running on the device and can also be on the phone with an ear piece.

 Even otherwise, a great way to quickly look something up.

 Of course, I'd take it out of the mount to answer the phone :-D

 Any thoughts?

I see what you mean, but for me it's not something I'd want to tempt
myself to look at while the bike's in motion.  A quick glance when
pulled over or when traffic has stopped is all I'm willing to do.
