Podcasting - radio reborn

Apple introduced iTunes 4.9 which enables us to enjoy thousands of free radio programmes, called Podcasts. By synchronising them to iPod, we can listen anytime and anywhere.

I'm, in fact, playing around with podcasting. Start with BBC News programmes. Me, new to this system, I haven't figured out how to use it yet. What I can say at this moment is that sound quality is not good. It IS cool, if I can enjoy radio shows, updated everyday, on the way to the office. But I don't know if it's worthwhile to take care of it (like updating podcasts, connecting iPod to PC and so on) everyday. Yes, I AM busy. Too busy to handle those sorts of tasks. Well, it's early to tell. I need more time to play around with it.

Apple also released new iPod models with a full-color display. The 20GB or 60GB models can carry up to 15,000 songs or as many as 25,000 photos. But they are not called iPod Photo.
