I noticed a while back that some of my feeds in iTunes had videos. Of course, they wouldn’t load into my iPod. But, they did play on my PC. So, I played around with a feed that contained videos from my Nokia N70 posted to TypePad via Lifeblog.
It worked – my phone videos played from a feed in iTunes, just like any other feed with video.
Now that’s a really simple way to make a mobile video blog podcast thingy (what to call it?), though I haven’t tried all the permutations.
But, with the new video iPods: will those same videos play on the video iPod? That would be cool.
If anyone finds out, please let me know.
Alas, the N70 does not record audio to MP3 or WAV, so there’s no simple
way to also do a traditional audio-only podcast from the phone (I’ve
been looking for an MP3 recorder app since). I know there are services that do this, but I was trying to do it all from my phone without anything other than a TypePad account. Really just a simple experiment.
