There are already products like that available, of course. Belkin reckons the selling point of this one is its ClearScan technology, which makes it less fiddly to find a free FM frequency to broadcast your music by automatically scanning for it.

TuneBase FM also charges your iPhone or iPod while they’re connected to it, which is a bonus. It’s due on sale in April around the world, including the UK and Europe. The US pricing is $99.99, but no news yet on how that’ll translate to good old British sterling.
