Belkin Rolls Out iPod-Friendly TuneCast 3 FM Transmitter
Broadcasting music through one's car audio system, the easy way
The popularity of FM transmitters has seriously increased over the past few years, considering the fact that they allow normal drivers (that is, those people who don't own some fancy car with a Hi-Fi audio system packed full of connectivity options) to enjoy their favorite music through their car's stereo system without employing any advanced technological means. And one of the latest such devices to hit the market is Belkin's TuneCast 3 FM transmitter, whose main point of attraction is the fact that it works like a charm with most of Apple's players. The device features an easy-to-read, OLED screen, used for displaying the current broadcasting frequency, which ranges between 88.1MHz-107.9MHz FM channels. Moreover, it sports a very user-friendly and intuitive control system, which helps users program the clearest frequency via the included preset buttons. Another important selling point of the TuneCast is the fact that it doesn't require any power from the player it's connected to. Thus, the device sports its own batteries and can even be powered from a car power adapter. Moreover, it features an interesting cable management system, which allows the user to manage the 20-inch (50.8-cm) included cable exactly as he/she sees fit. However, as mentioned earlier, the device's most important point of attraction is represented by the extended iPod compatibility. Thus, the FM transmitter can broadcast audio from any device with a 3.5mm headphone jack, but works with a wide range of iPods, including any generation of mini, nano or Shuffle, as well as full-sized iPods from the third generation onwards.The TuneCast 3 FM transmitter from Belkin retails for around $50, which is not that expensive, as far as FM transmitters go. And considering the fact that this thing offers such a high level of iPod compatibility, the hardcore fans of Apple's players will most likely find it quite interesting and rather appealing.
