Using your Pocket PC to catch up on podcasts (or blogcasts)

  • Article

I love and use Egress all the time for catching up on Blogs on my Pocket PC, I just sink up over my wireless network at home and then read when I've got a moment spare.

Today I spotted Mike Hall's blog item about Podcasting on your Pocket PC and FeederReader which looks well cool and a great implementation and was starting to feel more than just a little envious:-(

Well I spotted that there is an update to Egress that now also support Pobcasting and something to try out over the weekend - phew, well done guys:-)

So now there are at least two Pocket PC RSS Readers that support Podcasting, check them both out - awesome!!

PS, At the risk of "egg sucking" if you are not that sure what a Podcast (or Blogcast or Videocast) is then check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcast, but putting it real simple it's just a downloadable MP3, WMA or WMV file with captured audio and or video which will hopefully entertain and info you and often published via RSS.

Egress features whipped off Pocketgear include:-
