Podcasting on phones
Pod2Mob today announced the launch of its podcast streaming service, which allows podcasts to be played on mobile handsets. The software, which Pod2Mob claims is the first to market, could from roughly 25 million to an estimated 700 million listeners. Looking forward, sales of mobile phones are predicted to reach one billion annually by 2009, according to Gartner Research. The software provides an open directory where podcast feeds can be added, which the system automatically tracks and updates. Any podcast can be streamed to the phone, and the software enables a favorites feature for easy storage and retrieval of desired podcasts.
