Slate magazine is making one of its most popular features available as a "textcast," a podcast in which the main thing being delivered to your iPod is text rather than audio. Slate's Todays' Papers textcast is a small file containing a summary of the top stories from the nation's best newspapers. You can then read the text right on your iPod's screen. Textcasts are an innovative use of podcasting, but also a bit of a kludge. According to Slate's Andy Bowers, "the iPod is not currently configured as a text reader, so we've done our best to work around the device's limitations. Here's hoping Apple will make its cash cow more text-friendly in future releases."
