Specifically affected are the TuneBase FM with ClearScan, the TuneBase FM with Hands-Free, and the TuneBase Direct with Hands-Free. As a result of a problem with washers, versions of the docks bought on or after April 1st may produce smoke or fire when plugged into a car's power port.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/23/docks.may.pose.unusual.fire.hazard/ Fri, 23 Oct 2009 19:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/29/belkin.intros.energy.conserving.power.bar/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0909/belkinbarintro.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Belkin on Tuesday announced the release of its Conserve Surge with Timer power bar, which has a built-in timer to eliminate power draw when an office workstation is not in use. The power bar is meant for but not limited to use in offices, where IT energy costs are unnecessarily high due to the phantom power draw from turned off devices or computers in standby mode. Related devices such as printers... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/29/belkin.intros.energy.conserving.power.bar/ Tue, 29 Sep 2009 20:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/15/home.base.shares.wireless.usb.devices/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0909/belkinhomebase.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Belkin has introduced its Home Base networking hub on Tuesday, which allows users to share peripherals using their existing wireless networks, including printers, external hard drives or other USB devices. The Home Base is compatible with other Wi-Fi b/g/n devices and will also allow users to automatically back up a connected computer's files onto a designated and connected USB hard drive.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/15/home.base.shares.wireless.usb.devices/ Tue, 15 Sep 2009 20:15:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/08/5g.ipod.nano.3g.ipod.touch.cases.at.best.buy/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0909/ipodtouch3g-leaksm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Best Buy on Tuesday inadvertently tipped off Apple's plans for tomorrow by posting entries for unreleased iPods. Belkin and Griffin cases for the fifth-generation iPod nano and third-generation iPod touch have appeared and support the notion that at least these two will be updated at Apple's special event on Wednesday. None of the releases immediately betray expected features like built-in camer... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/08/5g.ipod.nano.3g.ipod.touch.cases.at.best.buy/ Tue, 08 Sep 2009 19:15:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/28/belkin.ipod.shuffle.adaptr/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0907/belkinipodshuffleadapter.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Belkin this morning addressed the complaints of those wanting to use more advanced headphones with Apple's third-generation iPod shuffle and launched its Headphone Adapter for the music player. The simple add-on gives any typical earbuds or headphones with a 3.5mm headphone jack a remote much like Apple's own pack-in model, including the ability to invoke VoiceOver. It's not known if other iPods... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/28/belkin.ipod.shuffle.adaptr/ Tue, 28 Jul 2009 13:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/16/belkin.cancels.flywire/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0807/belkinflywire.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />After delaying its FlyWire wireless HDMI system, Belkin has now announced it will no longer bring the device to market. According to a company representative, the FlyWire's demise is due to its high $1,499 price tag in the current economy. The FlyWire allowed users to send and receive audio and video sources that included HDMI and analog sources. A small receiver can be hidden behind a wall-mounte... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/16/belkin.cancels.flywire/ Thu, 16 Jul 2009 20:15:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/04/belkin.tunecast.auto.live/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0906/belkintunecastautolive.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Belkin on Thursday became one of the first hardware accessory makers to take advantage of iPhone OS 3.0's support for third-party peripherals. When it ships, the new TuneCast Auto Live will have an iPhone app to let owners pick a clear FM channel for broadcasting the audio from an iPhone or iPod touch to a car's sound system; previous add-ons have had to include their own hardware controls.

Both the TuneBase Direct and TuneBase FM route audio from Apple devices to the car stereo while simultaneously charging them over the 12-volt port and cradling them on a flexible neck that puts the iPhone at a more viewable position. Users only have to tap a button on the TuneBase itself to take or end the call in s... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/01/belkin.tunebase.direct.fm/ Mon, 01 Jun 2009 13:15:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/27/belkin.cushdesk/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0904/belkincushdesk.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Belkin today quietly released the CushDesk as its solution for notebook owners who want a cooler and more stable surface on their systems. The simple accessory has a hard surface capable of supporting most 17-inch or smaller notebooks and a soft underside that both distances heat from the owner's legs and has enough give to remain comfortable. It also gets a tapered design that angles the notebo... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/27/belkin.cushdesk/ Mon, 27 Apr 2009 20:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/20/belkin.micro.auto.charger/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0904/belkinsml.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Belkin has introduced the Micro Auto Charger and Dual Auto Charger for iPods, iPhones and other mobile devices. The Micro charger features a compact design that fits nearly flush with the dashboard, while still providing room on its lip for removal.
