Richard,

I hope you saw this almost at the end of the ALPA list:

Quote:

ALPA iPhone? holder
The new ALPA iPhone? holder allows the technophile photographers using their 
iPhone? 3/4 and iPod touch?  (later also others) a secure and firm mounting 
of their device on top of an ALPA. It fits all ALPA 12 models. It can be 
used in several positions:

        ? horizontal, symmetric
        ? horizontal, minimum parallax
        ? vertical, minimum parallax
Possible applications:

        ? electronic viewfinder (ALPA recommends apps like "Viewfinder Pro" 
or "ProCamera")
        ? as GPS logger
        ? as control unit for electronical shutters and the like
        ? as digital notepad
        ? other apps are under development
Price:

        ? Ex works professional price: ca. CHF 638.00 (ca. USD 606.00, ca. 
EUR 479.00)

To be au courant, maybe we can find a way to strap an iPhone 3 or 4 atop our 
Leica cameras, like the Big Boys do.

Best,

Bill
