Podcasting is all the rage nowadays. More and more people are subscribing to podcasts for their information needs. While reading blogs, and tuning in to radio shows are still the undisputed champions of information, podcasting is proving to be a more convenient and handy medium for information.
Usually, to download the podcast, you would have to log on to a web site and download the latest podcasts depending on their availability. You would then have to move these files from your computer to your mobile audio device.
This is proven to be a handy way to collect syndicated shows on your mobile device and listen to them at your own leisure. However, people have begun to look for easier ways to download these podcasts. After all, today's technology allows for a more efficient and handy way to download and listen to these podcasts.
People would like to skip the part where they have to sit in front of the computer, browse the Internet, and download the podcasts. Is it possible for them to directly download these podcasts to their mobile devices? Fortunately, the answer is yes. Downloading podcasts directly to a mobile device isn't only revolutionary, it's practical-not to mention it makes perfect sense.
Podcasts straight to your phone
If your mobile device has Internet connectivity-either through GPRS, edge, WiFi, 3G, or other wireless networking technology, then it is possible for you to download podcasts straight to your mobile device.
With your mobile device, you can directly log on to a podcast site, and download audio files directly on to your storage space. From here you can now listen to your favorite podcasts even while you travel. The great thing about this is that you don't have to go back to your home or look for an Internet enabled desktop and download your favorite podcasts.
You can be traveling around, or be at work, or be at any location, and still be able to download online podcast content effortlessly. And of course, you can still enjoy them at your leisure.
Advantages and disadvantages
The advantage here is that podcasting for you will truly become something you can do at your leisure. You can podcast were ever you go as long as you have Internet connectivity. And even if you don't have Internet connectivity, you can still listen to previously downloaded files.
The disadvantage is that some mobile Internet technologies aren't that well defined-meaning you receive decreased bandwidth. This makes downloading podcasts slow. It may also necessitate the proliferation of podcasts that are smaller in size, making them inferior in audio quality.
