Much like putting a DVR into a VHS player, Belkin's TuneCast Auto Live utilizes really good technology to support something that is obsolete. More specifically, it uses GPS coordinates and the iPhone to identify the best FM frequencies.
Combining the TuneCast Auto Live transmitter and the ClearScan app for the iPhone users can tap into the GPS functionality to locate the best radio frequency to play music in the car. In addition, both iPhone and iPod Touch users can use their devices to manually change frequencies and set favorite channels as presets. The device will be available in the early fall for $80.
Needless to say, if you have an iPhone, you probably ditched FM radio a long time ago in favor of your music collection and the oodles of free apps out there that allow you to listen to internet radio—so I don't get the point of this at all. [Belkin]
