Podcasts. You either love them or hate them. I record the weekly IntoMobile podcast with Will and Simon when I can, but could not make it this week. I listen to Steve, Rafe and Ewan at All About Symbian (AAS), and that’s it really when it comes to wanting to devote my free time to listening to a bunch of people talk amongst themselves. My friend Duncan is a huge podcast listener, and among extensive group of friends and acquaintances he, and Steve from AAS, are the only people I know who consumes podcasts. That being said, Google (NSDQ: GOOG) has just announced that they’re launching a beta podcast client for Android users called “Listen.” Grab it here. I’m a bit concerned that they said this only works for US Android users, can people in the UK try and grab this and let me know if it works?
Oh and if you know of any podcast I or the rest of the Into Mobile crew should listen to, leave a comment.
Google listen client beta app works here in the UK OK – G1 user. Search is poor though could not find ‘the signal’ on several attempts and search strings!
