Are there any bicycle computers that can do this? I tried googling it but didn't come up with anything, just a bunch of tutorials and tips for "how to use your phone as a bicycle computer", and the like.
I expect you'll never see one.
  • People already have a phone. Its easy enough to stop and use the phone people already have.
  • A bike computer that was also a stand-alone phone would require a cell plan (making it more expensive every month).
  • It would make the computer more expensive (people think they are already expensive).
  • It would possibly expose the manufacturers to extra liability.
