- aplardi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17This is an excellent way for those who have no friends to speak with to use their minutes!
- AgentEntropy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14Absolutely futureb! Of course I expect you'll be leading the pack on this one, right? I'm sure you'll be signing off Digg, and turning your computer off any minute now...
Right? - toomuchgreentea, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14[sarcasm] I would LOVE to use all my cell minutes on a podcast, since I have nothing better to do with them. [/sarcasm]
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13YES! Now when I don't have my laptop to make me infertile, I can listen to my podcasts on my cellphone and get brain cancer!
Nothing's better than finding innovative ways to shorten my life. ;-) - thatgirlismine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Wow, so then this must be te perfect thread for you to comment on.
- hungryhermit, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10You guys should check out this new thing they've got now called an mp3 player. Its a tiny device on which you can listen to podcasts.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Says the guy on the internet. Irony is so ironic.
- futureb, on 10/12/2007, -7/+10how about we all detach from our electronic devices and experience the world. god forbid anyone should have a random conversation with another human being.
- Universal, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Call +1 (408) 538-2141 to listen to Diggnation via Podlinez.
- Frankie4Fingers, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You could just get the audio version and listen to it as a mp3 on lots of cell phones these days. You would save minutes and save on battery life.
- jole, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Very useful if you don't want to download big files too!
- Frankie4Fingers, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I am pretty sure this will never actually catch on. Who would actually want to use all of their minutes listening to a podcast over the phone.
Also, it will kill your battery in no time. What a waste. - MalDON, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I actually find this pretty cool. I don't keep my mp3 player synced, and there are times that I don't bring my player with me, the next best thing is diggnation. Besides, razr's don't have much space...
- elitexero, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is such a bad idea. It's just... bad,
Podcasts are designed for people with portable audio players to listen to music. Besides, cell phone quality sucks. On top of that, you can be the only fool in the bus/office/car/anywhere on the phone but not talking. ALTHOUGH, this is good for bluetooth headsets, I'll say that. - AceTracer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I can't imagine who would waste their minutes on something like this. If you're nerdy enough to listen to podcasts, you're nerdy enough to have a device that plays MP3s.
- hadak, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4you're an idiot.
the people who MAKE the podcasts recite them. - hiddi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2my laptop recently broke so traveling and being able to listen to podcasts via cellphone if i become bored sounds like an awesome idea as long as it remains free.
- gstuartj, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3No, but you have to give up your first-born child. They've gotta have workers. Who do you think recites all those podcasts?
- G-RaZoR, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Why does everyone ASSUME that you need a cell phone? Just use the speakerphone at work. Work and listen to podcasts, seems like a good idea to me.
- exobyte, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3@aplardi: most of digg?
- marshallk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm out on the town, don't have any new podcasts synced on my mp3 player, want to listen to something and call to do it. How hard is that to understand?
- exobyte, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Unless you have an unlimited data plan, minutes are cheaper. It's the same reason minutes cost about as much as a text message (explain that one: 1kb of data that isn't realtime costs as much as 1 min of realtime voice)
- tmcdigg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You can make the circle complete by using wireless voip to make the call!
;-) - systemghost, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Need more Z's and fonics.
- exobyte, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1408 is the Silicon Valley area code (if you're not here and wondering)
- magical1492, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm sure telephone companies will charge this through the roof.
- rob3, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2yes, becuase i'm going to make an international call from the UK to listen to a crappy podcast now am I?
- Frankie4Fingers, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Exactly. Lame.
- Harmless, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1lawl @who do you think recites all those
You don't have to waste your minutes. Free nights and weekends. - UGM2099, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3AHEM, it's Podcast.
- ZegaNega, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wouldn't adding ads to podcasts without the consent of the people who made the podcast violate copyright and even creative commons?
- daveyt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Audio? By telephone? How the ***** did they do that? They have audio on telephones now? Damn, I get all my phone calls over the internet. Now I've got to buy a ***** phone? Goddamn.

- systemghost, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2@UGM2099
OBVIOUSLY IT'S A PODCAST BECAUSE APPLE INVENTED THE MP3 _AND_ THE MP3 PLAYER SO THEY CAN CALL AN MP3 OF SOMEONE TALKING WHATEVER THEY WANT!
SO THERE! - praisethelard, on 06/06/2008, -5/+3I don't even listen to "podcasts" aka "mp3 files of someone talking" on my mp3 player.
- zeiben, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2This has to be the lamest idea ever. period.
Unless... if the podcast is Chinese conversational drills, then you get to walk through the airport sounding like a very important jetsetter who's having a chat with their Chinese associates (which only looks cool if you're not Chinese to begin with)
but otherwise, yeah, unbelievably lame. - RonAcierno, on 02/07/2008, -5/+2does this cost money?
- somewhatfrank, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1I would definitely be interested in trying these services out. However, I do not know if I like the fact you have to actually call in to listen to the casts. Does anyone know of a cellphone or other device that downloads podcasts wirelessly for on the go updates?
- Julito, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Okis, good history!
- bh1nd3r, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1@mglukhovsky Cell phones are suspected of causing cancer too
- NiX0n, on 10/12/2007, -10/+5Ehem... that's NETCAST.
- animefx, on 10/12/2007, -10/+2Has anyone dialed Jenny 867-5309?
- flag564, on 10/12/2007, -16/+4Why not just listen to AM radio. It makes just as much sense.
Who needs to hear a podcast that badly?
