Belkin has introduces two new Lightning-enabled products: a car charger and a charge-and-sync dock. The devices are the first of several other Lightning accessories they launch this year.
The Belkin car charger was exclusively designed for the iPhone 5, but also works with the fourth-gen iPad, iPad mini, as well as the latest-generation iPod nano, and iPod touch. It can plug into any automobile power outlet and sports a four-foot cable with reversible Lightning connector. Its ultra-compact design sits flush with your dash.
Both devices are available for pre-order now for $29.99, and Belkin said they will ship by Nov. 15.
"Belkin was the first third-party manufacturer to develop accessories for the 30-pin connector back in 2003, and we are thrilled to be first to market again with solutions for the new Lightning connector," Martin Avila, general manager of Belkin's core division, said in a statement. "People are eager for Lightning accessories and Belkin's give them a reliable way to keep their new iPhone 5, iPad 4th generation, iPad mini or iPod touch charged, protected, and ready to go."
