Doppler, great podcast receiver (RSS aggregator) for SmartPhones

When I was in Brussels I met with Erwin van Hunen, lead technical architect and developer for DopplerRadio. He took me aside and showed me his new podcasting device (DopplerMobile) which just went into beta today. This thing ROCKS! Developed in .NET 2.0 too. Speaking of which, I just got a report from more of the .NET 2.0 launch events. They continue being sold out around the world. A couple of weeks ago there were 5,000 people in India at the launch events there.

I just interviewed developers from SAP who are converting from Visual Studio 2003 to 2005. They were effusive in their praise. It’s not everyday you get your competitors to praise your new technology.

Unfortunately DopplerMobile requires a mobile phone running Windows Mobile 5.0 for Smartphones and it requires that the phone has the .NET Compact Framework 2.0 installed (which is a separate download for Windows Mobile 5.0 phones). I say unfortunately cause my Audiovox still has the older software on it. This will push me to get a new phone, though. I’m going to the Consumer Electronics Show in January to check out phones. I hear the new Motorola coming out rocks big time.

  1. The Audiovox SMT5600 can run WM5.0. Lots of people are using it that way. I just got me an Audiovox last week, and I love it. Windows Mobile 5.0 is sweet. My previous phone was an MPX200 (running Windows Mobile 2003) and the Audiovox and WM5 is a huge improvement.
