Podcasting on your Pocket PC
I have to admit that I’m totally hooked on Podcasting, both creating podcasts (exposed from my blog) and syncing and listening to Podcasts, every morning I sync a number of podcast feeds to my laptop and listen to the content in the office – I can of course also sync the content to my Pocket PC through Windows Media Player.
Wouldn’t it be super cool to be able to sync the podcast feed directly on my Pocket PC without needing to sync through the desktop ? – why, yes, that would be cool – Take a look at FeederReader an RSS reader that runs directly on your Pocket PC, and contains support for podcast enclosures.
I’ve not played with this yet, but plan on doing so either today or tomorrow, look out for a review of the tool over the next couple of days.
I wonder where this technology is going, syncing content from an RSS feed is very cool, it gives you the ability to get the content you want, when you want it – this has quickly moved from text only (blogs) to audio, and in some cases video. Is the next step to drop FM radio completely and have internet feeds instead of radio stations ? – if you listen to the Daily Source Code from Adam Curry it sounds like a live radio show – I wonder how long it’s going to be before people are using Windows Media Server and streaming technologies to have a 24 hour ‘live’ audio cast.

Streaming is made for fast connections. Podcasting is made for slow connections. Really! It is built to be downloaded and then played later. If you have unlimited internet and can download throughout the night, then you'll be able to download about 20MB per hour. With an hour of decent podcast taking about 30-60MB, you'll be able to download 2-6 hours worth of material per night. It's not the speed that's holding you back. If you have to pay per minute or pay per Megabyte, then that may be a problem
