After a few weeks of public beta testing, Viigo for BlackBerry is now fully supporting podcasts. Upwards of 10,000 podcasts can be browsed through their extensively categorized library, but be warned: these podcasts are streaming, so you’ll need coverage in order to tune in. It’s a great option for casual listeners, but if you’re hardcore about your shows (like The Signal *cough*), and want a copy stored locally, I’d suggest PodTrapper.

Viigo’s continually updating their app with fresh new content, with some of the more recent additions being a new Deals module kicked off by Gazaro, as well as tennis coverage, and Facebook integration. A new YouTube channel also makes for a handy way of browing through the latest videos without having to muss about the mobile site. For a tour of the update, scope out their demo video, or for a broader look at the whole app, swing by their modules page. To give Viigo a shot (why not? it’s free!), check out our version of the app, with built-in support for IntoMobile’s multitudinous content categories.

Simon Sage

Simon Sage’s education largely surrounded writing, technology and online community, leading him to begin his blogging career at www.BlackBerryCool.com and to quickly discover a vibrant and active community surrounding BlackBerry and mobile technology. In exploring RIM’s platform, he has learned what enterprises are looking for in mobility as well as what makes the innocuous BlackBerry so appealing to them. Recently Simon’s been covering RIM’s gradual move into an already-crowded consumer market, and the impact of burgeoning challengers, such as the iPhone, as well as long-time leaders, like Nokia, on BlackBerry’s advancement. With plenty of content under his belt, Simon will be branching off a bit to see what other smartphone manufacturers are working on while still using BlackBerry as a barometer. At IntoMobile, you can count on his posts being even-handed, well-informed and thought-out.
