We are pleased to announce that Jeff Kirvin has agreed to create weekly Palm-powered related podcasts for 1SRC.

What are Podcasts? According to Wikipedia , " The term podcasting plays upon the terms broadcasting and webcasting and is derived from the name of the iPod portable music player, the playback device of choice of many early podcast listeners. While not directly associated with Apple's iPod device or iTunes jukebox software, the company did contribute both the desire and the technology for this capability. Podcasting is similar to time-shifted video software and devices like TiVo, which let you watch what you want when you want by recording and storing video, except that podcasting is used for audio and is currently free of charge. Note, however, that this technology can be used to pull any kind of file, including software updates, pictures, and videos. "

The 1SRC Podcasts will be in .mp3 format so you can play them directly on your computer or carry them with your on your Palm-powered device and play them using your favorite MP3 palyer application. A new news category, forum, as well as an RSS feed will be created for the podcasts. UPDATE: The iPod RSS feed for podcasting can be now found here.
