Melodeo Exec On Mobile Podcasting
Melodeo, a podcast community for PC and mobile phones, and Alltel Wireless, the largest US mobile network, announced a partnership earlier this week that will give millions of users the ability to listen to podcasts on their wireless phones. In an interview with Podcasting News Publisher Elisabeth McLaury Lewin, Bill Valenti, Executive Vice President at Melodeo, talked about the Alltel client launch, one of several new ventures for Melodeo. Valenti is excited about podcasting, and the potential of podcasts on mobile phones. "Podcasting is the most revolutionary form of media to come down the pipe -- and mobile phones are a natural match for this technology," he said. Melodeo's service combines Web-based services with a small client that runs on the phone. A simple interface lets Axcess Mobilcast users browse categories or search from a selection of relatively short podcasts, including content from NPR, CNN and indie podcasters. The podcasts can then be streamed or downloaded.
