Apple's iTunes to Carry Podcasts | Bayosphere
Apple's iTunes to Carry Podcasts | Bayosphere: "the next version of iTunes will support downloads of podcasts, he contributed to a major change in media. Podcasting, a disruptive technology, is about to get more so.
Jobs showed a preview of the next version of iTunes. It included an entire category for podcasting. At first, Apple will only include the free -- i.e. totally gratis or advertising supported -- material.
But in answer to a question from Weblogs Inc.'s Jason Calacanis, he hinted that Apple will look at other business models, i.e. pay models. That's good news.
This is potentially a big deal. Why? Because podcasting is still not the easiest thing for the listener; getting material from the Web takes some doing."
