If you wanted to listen music from your iPhone while driving but just couldn’t do it, Belkin’s thinking about you. Their newly announced TuneBase FM and TuneBase Auto are made to allow users to stream/transmit music from their iPhones/iPods to the local FM frequency so they could listen to it on their car audio system. Both devices are easy to use, and with a single push of a button they will automatically seek out the best FM frequency to play the music from your iPhone or iPod. The first mentioned version — TuneBase FM — also mounts and powers your iPhone or iPod in the car.
TuneBase FM will hit the stores in April this year and will retail for $99.99. On the other hand, TuneCast Auto — the one that also charges your iPhone/iPod — starts selling next month in all global regions for $79.99.
In the other news, Belkin revealed two new iPhone cases – Formed Leather with Removable Belt Clip and Micro Grip Case, as well as the Sport Armband Plus with FastFit System. The cases are already available and are currently selling for $29.99 and $24.99 respectively, while the armband is coming in the fall of 2008 and once hit the stores, you’ll be able to grab it for $29.99.
Official Belkin releases are available from here (TuneCast) and here (cases and an armband).

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
