Gearing up for the ScobleShow

Whew, I’ve been working non-stop on getting things together for my ScobleShow. So, I’ve been letting things hit the floor left and right. Including this blog.

I missed all the Zune stuff, for instance (does it include a podcasting client?)

The show is looking good, but I don’t yet know when it’ll launch. We’re within days, though, not weeks.

I’ll have a surprise guest at the house on Sunday I hear. Yes, Christopher Coulter is flying in. Yes, the guy who gives me lots of crud in my comments. It should be a good weekend of debating and other things.

Can’t wait to tell you more!

  1. According to Zune Insider –

    “Zune will play podcasts. I’m actually listenting to a podcast right now. If you bring the audio file into the software (like a wma or mp3 file), you can play it on your Zune. Beyond that, there will be other options for podcasting support for future releases.”

    Since this is the official blog, I’d give it some credit.

    They have been testing a Podcatching client.

    But I’m guessing it’s not coming out with rev 1.

    Looking forward to your show sir.

  3. I wonder if the podcasts (even homebrewed) will be transmitable via WiFi like music will be. And if so… will it be wrapped with a DRM when it is transmited that will only allow it to be played 3 times.

    Anyways, it is good that MS realized that just because they didn’t create podcasts doesn’t mean that they cannot implement the feature into their products. Podcasts might have started with Apple, but anybody can be a piece of it now.

  5. Podcasting has been rumored, but not confirmed, in Zune.
    I think it will not be in the first player, or at least not fully-functional.
    It’s not specified in any of yesterday’s press materials, and I don’t see any clear answers from Microsoft in response to yesterday’s many interviews.
    Even ZuneInsider’s response leaves some room for interpretation.
    My guess: we’ll see a limited form in November, and full podcasting support integrated into Zune II.

  7. By the sounds of what the Zun blog is saying it sounds like they can just play a podcast because it’s an MP3. No big deal. Any MP3 can play a podcast.

  9. You’ve not checked Techmeme recently then Robert?

    Won’t play PlaysForSome, will add DRM to open content (including Creative Commons licenced content – which is a nono), too big, available in Brown, no release date, no pricing.

    On the plus side, it supports AAC πŸ™‚

  15. One should not try commenting to a blog on so little sleep or while bouncing from airport to airport – the link I gave to SDN for some reason includes the comma in the end 😦 and now since there are a few more comments I figured I would include another blog as well
