Belkin has announced the availability of some new accessories for the Zune digital media player. The accessories include an FM transmitter, backup battery pack, and a variety of different cases. The accessories take full advantage of the Zune player’s landscape viewing mode to give you hands-free viewing of your Zune.

The TuneBase FM Transmitter for Zune ($79.99) features a built-in FM transmitter with three programmable memory presets. The transmitter allows you to wirelessly connect to your car stereo on FM channels 88.1 MHz - 107.9MHz.
