Belkin has unveiled a new member of its TuneCast family of products. It’s the TuneCast Auto Live FM transmitter, which comes in pair with ClearScan Live software application, allowing iPhone users to easily operate their FM transmitter and locate the best radio frequency to play music in the car.
The iPhone 3.0-ready application displays the FM frequency and the controls on iPhone’s screen, while GPS is used to determine the clearest FM frequency at the user’s location. In that sense, using ClearScan Live, you can:
- Identify the clearest FM frequencies, based on geographical data as well as results from other TuneCast Auto users in the same geographical area;
- Contribute to the quality of ClearScan’s recommendations by rating how well specific stations work at your current location;
- Manually change frequencies and set favorite channels as presets.
As for the availability, Belkin said that the TuneCast Auto Live will be available in early fall in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, when interested users will be able to grab it for $79.99.

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.
