The Scosche iKit for the Apple iPad

It has been about a month since the Apple iPad hit the streets. We have seen a few custom installations but now Scosche is offering a bona fide iPad installation kit called the iKit.

It is a system that replaces the original radio with a ball-type mount. The iPad pops into a plastic frame that in turn pops on the ball mount.
