Belkin has recently announced two new products – TuneBase FM and TuneBase Direct, both which allow users to pick up a call on their iPhones while in the car, hands-free, without removing an iPhone or iPod from its case.
TuneBase Direct connects to the car audio system using the standard 3.5mm audio cable, while TuneBase FM does the same thing via FM radio frequencies. Both devices can also be used for charging an iPhone/iPod while on the road. Moreover, both TuneBase FM and TuneBase Direct fade out music when call comes in.
As for the availability and pricing, the TuneBase FM will start selling in the U.S. starting from mid-July for $89.99, while TuneBase Direct is hitting the U.S. stores in early June, when interested users will be able to grab it for $69.99. Both devices are already available in the EU.

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.
