TuneCommand, TuneTalk

Belkin today announced for iPod, a device that allows users to record audio to an iPod. By simply plugging the TuneTalk into your iPod, you can record memos, lectures, interviews, or conversations.

TuneCommand fits the 3G, 4G, photo, and mini iPod. It will begin shipping in North America, August. TuneCommand for iPod (F8Z024) - $50.

The TuneTalk fits the 3G, 4G, and photo iPod. It will begin shipping in North America in late July. TuneTalk for iPod (F8Z029) - $30.

TuneCommand includes a multi-clip, surface-mount hook and lanyard, providing a variety of options for securing your Remote on the road, in the car, or at home. It features eight basic functions: play/pause, next track, previous track, volume up and down, shuffle songs, and repeat. When used with the iPod photo, TuneCommand lets you scroll through your slide shows or presentations--wirelessly.
