Portable Content
Getting files to my iPod is still a pain in the butt.
I listen to podcasts every once in a while, but I listen to them on the computer because its easier than having to plug my ipod into my laptop to do a daily sync. Yeah, I am lazy. I cringe when I see multipage guides like the one for converting your own videos onto the new ipod. It's too much of a hassle.
Having a media player that has a wireless broadband capability to automatically download audio or video podcasts, streaming audio, would be ideal. I am sure its coming any day now, perhaps from Amp'd or Helios?
All that said, there is plenty of media out there suited for portable devices. A quick browse through the some podcast directories such as podcastalley.com, podcastpickle.com, odeo, and iTunes will reveal some fairly entertaining shows, both video and audio. Tons of other stuff can be had through bittorrent and USENET, and it will be interesting to see if there will be any changes to ifilm since it has been recently purchased by MTV.
There is now a conference for portable media, and I just registered for it. The Portable Media Expo is being held November 11-12, at the Ontario Convention Center. Has anyone else signed up for this?

"A new mapping project attempts to overlay geography with human perception. Where exactly is a city's boundary, and how far does a sports team's fan base stretch?"
