Europe
: Nokia introduced the beta release of the Nokia Podcasting Application
that makes it easy to discover and download podcasting content on
the go.
Available
for the Nokia N91 and other Nokia S60 3rd edition devices, the application
enables people to find and download supported audio and video podcasts
directly to your Nokia Nseries multimedia computer. The free application
can be downloaded from www.nokia.com/podcasting.
"Podcasting is a rapidly growing communications medium with more
and more people accessing and creating them every day. Many news agencies,
for instance, already offer podcasts on a wide range of topics,"
says Tommi Mustonen, Director, Multimedia, Nokia. "We're adding
our support by creating a mobile application that makes it easy to
discover and search for podcasts, download podcasts over the air,
and subscribe to automatic updates."
The Nokia Podcasting Application also allows you to play previews
while tracks are downloading, download multiple podcasts simultaneously,
and even multi-task while downloading in the background. Also, you
can personalize the application by adding new podcasts and directories,
share and import OMPL files, and interact via mobile Internet links
to add comments to podcasters blogs or websites. Podcasts downloaded
from the PC can also be transferred to the mobile device.
"Audio quality is key to enjoying a podcast which makes a powerful
multimedia computer like the Nokia N91 an excellent choice for a great
podcasting experience," adds Mustonen. "By allowing you
to subscribe podcasts directly to your Nokia N91, you no longer need
to sit at your PC. Instead, you have access to a wide range of content
in the palm of your hand."
The Nokia N91 multimedia computer includes a 4GB hard drive, 3.5 mm
stereo headset jack, easy computer synchronization with Windows Media
Player, dedicated music keys and wireless LAN support. Enjoying your
digital music collection is simple, as the Nokia N91 supports a wide
range of digital music formats.
