Andy,
Can you expand on the technical as well as popular implications of
mobcasting?
I see that the new nokia N series phone is being referred to as a pod
killer. I think there is a lot of room for coexistence. Even in small
towns in a poor country like Ghana it is not impossible to find phones
Dear Andy, Pam, and All,
Hello and look forward to blogs from Budapest! What you propose below is
incredibly exciting to me too, as we use mobile phones in our projects and
are always looking for new, lower-tech, and cheaper ways to create and

It would be great if someone with a media bent could create a set of

My position is strong on this, I know. But podcasting by itself probably
is only useful for the visually impaired, and I don't know that anyone

Good point. Perhaps lowest common accessibility denominator would be
better. I was trying (and maybe failing!) to make the point that most

So what's a trimtab?
A trim tab is a tiny flap that controls the rudder on a ship or airplane.
When the rudder needs to be moved, this tiny trimtab is adjusted which

One of the things I find interesting about the history of podcasting is
that it was developed, in part, as a way for people with limited
bandwidth to download audio. Audio blogging isn't new by any means; lots
