Hmm, so, their supporting Apple here rather than Sony's PSP? Strange. | |

Quote (BASSsic @ 2nd February 2006 14:50) Hmm, so, their supporting Apple here rather than Sony's PSP? Strange. You misunderstand, BASSsic. A podcast doesn't necessarily have anything to do with an iPod. Podcasts are essentially internet-broadcasted audio that can be individually downloaded or streamed on to a personal computer or a mobile device (like an iPod). They're basically internet-based radio shows that have become really popular over the past year or so - you can even download streaming software like FeedBurner that automatically downloads new episodes of your favorite podcasts to specific directories. The Gamers Club at my university regularly puts out a video game-related podcast that I contribute to on occasion - it's linked on my sig (/shameless_plug). Oh, and if that comment was sarcasm and not an honest question, I'm sorry for sounding so pedantic. | |

My bad, really; I shoulda given another example there. Edit Fixed. | |

Oh, and if that comment was sarcasm and not an honest question, I'm sorry for sounding so pedantic. Actually your half right. I understand that the format is not iPod specific but I just find it weird the term has come about, maybe not as a slang term but as a term being used commercialy, I'm suprised! It's just digital content/media set-up to be downloaded and synced automaticly to devices. I thought big companies would just give it a more generic term. But since their videos right, and not audio, what format is it? Formatted to go straight on an iPod Video or a PSP? Not PSP I guess. | |
