MobileCast

I would love to move to Update 1.1.3 because I don't particularly like being an "outlaw." The iPhone provides an outstanding user experience, but there are some features available through jailbreaking that I have become dependent upon. One of these is "MobileCast," a simple podcast downloader and player.

The reason it has advantages over iTunes? First, you don't need iTunes. MobileCast manages direct RSS podcast feeds. Second (and most importantly), MobileCast allows the user to download over Wi-Fi. This is a major advantage because the user can download content anytime and anywhere there is an Internet connection--even over EDGE although I don't advise it. The iPhone is about convenience and MobileCast is a major enabler.

wow, thanks for the writeup. Much appreciated.
As an FYI the developers of mobilecast are now building & testing on 1.1.3. We are also hoping to make mobilecast an official application once the official SDK is released. Howpefully then we can all stop being outlaws :-)

BTW you can stay abreast of the latest mobilecast developments over at our google code site we're working on a couple of really cool enhancements.
best regards,
