Leave to the folks who invented RSS & pioneered blogging to finally
come up with something I can actually sink my teeth into. New concept,
already functional & use growing rapidly. Not limited to iPod...

Btw, though I own a Zen Nomad, the coolest gadget of the week has
to be my co-worker's Alpine car stereo with built-in support iPod,
including the display.

What is podcasting?
Posted by Dave Winer, 10/21/04 at 10:07:10 AM.
Think how a desktop aggregator works. You subscribe to a set of feeds, and
then can easily view the new stuff from all of the feeds together, or each
feed separately.
Podcasting works the same way, with one exception. Instead of reading the
new content on a computer screen, you listen to the new content on an iPod
or iPod-like device.
Think of your iPod as having a set of subscriptions that are checked
regularly for updates. Today there are a limited number of programs
available this way. The format used is RSS 2.0 with enclosures.
In the future, radio shows like All Things Considered and Rush Limbaugh will
be available in this manner, and perhaps other syndication formats will
support enclosures.
