But "podcast ready" does not obviously refer to the iPod, yet Apple objects to the company using that term as the name of their website and trademarking the name. Yet Apple doesn't own the term "podcast". They base the cease and desist request on their alleged trademark in the word "pod" to refer to the iPod. I'd say that's taking things a bit far.
I have to agree. I listen to "podcasts" on my computer and on my Pocket PC. So what's the "pod" part of that equation? The problem is getting everyone on earth to agree on a new term. The reason everyone says "podcast" is because there is no other word that will be as widely understood.
