Belkin TuneCommand AV: your wish is its command

By David Rudden, CNET.com on 09 January 2006

CES 2006: Belkin has done an admirable job integrating the iPod with home stereos with its TuneStage wireless transmitter. Its latest product, the TuneCommand AV, aims to take that connectivity to the next level.

When a compatible iPod -- it works with almost every dock-enabled iPod model -- is connected to the TuneCommand base station (which doubles as a recharger), you can control playback with the included remote. But the TuneCommand truly shines when used with a video or photo-enabled iPod: connect the dock to your television via the S-Video input, and you can view the media stored on the iPod, rewinding and fast-forwarding from the comfort of your sofa. The TuneCommand hits stores in the US in April for US$80.
