Melodeo Plans Podcast Downloads To Mobiles

From sister site MocoNews.net: Seattle-based mobile music startup Melodeo has announced plans to offer free software to enable mobile users to download podcasts directly to their handsets (demo). There are other podcast-to-mobile software, but the ones I’ve seen go through the computer or are only available on one carrier.

The move is described as an “awareness drive”, and is intended to get people used to downloading and listening to audio on their mobiles as well as to raise the profile of Melodeo’s music service. The software will initially be available from the website in September for Symbian phones, with a Java version to follow soon after.
