This is New, repeat...This is New! Is it for Real?
Well, it's Cool and It's got my attention!

I can't think of anything I'd want less

That is flippin awesome. I'd take one if it was given to me. TBH though, I get the same out of a RAM mount with my cell phone in it.

Only question is: a horrendously bad idea or a completely fucking mental idea?

I would like more of a heads up display in the visor like a fighter pilot but this is interesting that Samsung enters the motorcycle accessory industry.

Get a green sharpie and draw one on?

I think it is interesting. I like the heads up display but I don't know how it would work in the daylight. I also wonder about how it connects into the onboard display. It would be nice if it gave the rider more information than the present dash does, for example it might have a tachometer and a compass or GPS.

Why would I want to know which knob end was trying to call me when I'm on a bike?

My biggest concern would be the glare TBH. I'm a myope, so glare and I don't get along so well.

Yes, this would totally express my feelings on the subject

I wondered about daylight use too.

I suppose We'll wait to see where Samsung goes with this.

Pics to follow. I'll call "Quick Peeks"

If you are a techy this is cool and will get everyone's attention curbside at the gathering hole for sure, but how does this mechanically fit into all the windshield cavities or is it specific to each bike make or do they make this universal. Very few details on the mechanics at this point. Maybe I'm a little slow but my guess is that the phone gets the signal through cell towers and then via blue tooth the phone relays to the windshield screen with the details. What does this do that a cell phone mounted on the handle bars doesn't. Bigger screen ? Nicer display? Bigger GPS maps ?? Commercial says Wi Fi..?? where is wi fi in the country ?
