Belkin TuneCast Auto Supports iPhone 3G

Peripheral and accessories maker Belkin has announced that its TuneCast Auto FM transmitter has been certified to work with Apple’s iPhone 3G, and now carries the “Works with iPhone” label…along with “Made for iPod.”

The Belkin TuneCast enables iPod and iPhone users to push music from their phones or media players to their in-car audio system using a short range FM transmitter: find an empty spot on your dial, set the TuneCast to that frequency, and violà! Music from the iPod or iPhone plays over the car stereo.

Clicks: They say this iPhone keyboard gives your mobile superpowers

It's a satisfyingly clicky, full QWERTY keyboard for your iPhone.

Typing on a smartphone isn't bad, but it's not exactly productive either. If you're typing out a long email, message or working with a document, chances are, you're probably going to migrate to a laptop or computer, Mac included. It's not only more satisfying to work on a full size keyboard, even a compact one, it's so much more intuitive. The answer, usually, is to grab a portable or compact keyboard that works with your phone. But I'm here to tell you there's a much better way, and it's completely accessible -- meaning it won't empty your bank account. Cue Clicks, or more aptly the Clicks iPhone keyboard. Designed for the iPhone 14, 15, and 16, it's essentially a case with a keyboard built-in, but it's soo clicky and satisfying. The brand also claims that it gives your iPhone "superpowers," and I'm convinced they're not wrong.

While there's no huge discount currently, it's already reasonably-priced. Starting at $139 for the iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro, and $159 for the larger devices, like the iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and iPhone 16 Pro Max. It's definitely something you should check out if you type a lot on your phone.

Straight Talk Samsung Galaxy A03s -- $40 $60 33% off

Samsung makes some of the best phones on the market, and while the Galaxy A03s might not fall under that banner, it is a great budget phone. It has a 6.5-inch HD+ with a 60Hz refresh rate, which is pretty solid, and the 3GB of RAM is not too bad either. That said, it only has 32GB of internal storage, although that can be upgraded with a MicroSD card, so it's not so bad. The phone comes paired with a Straight Talk plan, which you can get for as low as $15 a month.
