I have a dream.

  1. In Google Reader I Star a feed item that contains a Podcast file I want to listen to
  2. My mobile has an application that regularly checks for such items and (if I am connected via Wireless) silently downloads the Podcast audio files to my phone.
  3. When I’m out and about I listen to the downloaded Podcasts

The beauty of this application is that I do all the heavy lifting of managing subscriptions, selecting which ones I like etc. in Google Reader – which rocks.

The Mobile application doesn’t need any graphical interface other than perhaps specifying some options like where to download. I’ll use my mobile’s built-in player so nothing special needed there.


No more downloading to my laptop, plugging in my phone and copying across. Just too slow.

Could work on either my BlackBerry Bold or HTC Windows Mobile 6.1… not too fussed.

Now I’m hoping someone will say, “Tokes, you fool. Haven’t you heard about…”
