Belkin's Existing Accessories Compatible with iPod nano; Among Bevy of Accessories For nano, Belkin Offers Products in White and Black That Match Its Look

Business Wire, Oct 31, 2005

COMPTON, Calif. -- Belkin's existing line of iPod accessories include devices that are both compatible with the iPod nano and are available in both black and white colors, such as the TuneCast(TM) II (F8V3080tt and F8V3080ttAPL). These products are currently available in Mexico. Other new and to-be-announced accessories for nano will be available starting October 2005.

The TuneCast II, an FM transmitter that plays music from your MP3 player through FM radio waves, plugs into the nano's headphone jack. It keeps the dock connector, which is situated next to the headphone jack on the nano, accessible. The TuneCast II is available in both black and white colors, as is the Auto Kit, which charges the nano in your car.

"The iPod nano typifies Apple's unique ability to push the limits of innovation," said Mark Reynoso, Sr. VP of Sales and Marketing. "Building in a color screen and photo capabilities is ingenious, and moving to a flash-based architecture not only increases the product's durability but also extends the battery life."

"Many of our existing products are already a good fit for the nano, and we will soon be adding several new nano-specific accessories as well as ensuring overlapping compatibility, as necessary, with future iPod accessories," continued Mr. Reynoso.
