Apple Launches Video Podcasting For iTunes

Posted by Zonk on from the new-things-to-look-at dept.

phaedo00 writes "Apple has launched support for video podcasting in the Podcast section of the iTMS. Ars Technica has a decent write up of the news along with speculation on what this means in the way of a video iPod and Apple's recent application for a patent on the phrase 'iPodcast.'" From the article: "The quiet, fanfare-less launch (in fact, it's not even clear when it was launched) is a bit surprising for the company, but there may be a reason: there's not too many video podcasts out there in the wild. Furthermore, video podcasts are currently only playable on your computer, although it seems clear enough that a video iPod is on the way. If you didn't believe it before, you should definitely believe it now. For now, it looks like video podcasting support is limited."

  1. PSP support by didiken · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Well, Sony PSP can play h.264 video format. Okay maybe need some simple tweaking with the container format.

      Maybe this is something Sony would like to collaborate with Apple on?
