OK, so we all knew that the iPhone 2.2 update was bringing Google Maps Street View and walking directions (about time, too). But Gizmodo says it will also include over-the-air podcast downloads. First I’ve heard of this, but a welcome feature that people like me and Dave Winer have been clamoring for from the beginning.
And it suddenly makes a lot more sense why Apple rejected the “Podcaster” app (which downloads over the air, too) for “duplicating iTunes functionality”. At the time, we scratched our heads, because the iPhone had no such capability.
Nobody explains concepts like blogs, wikis, Twitter, RSS, photo sharing, and the like in “plain english” better than Lee LeFever and the gang at Common Craft. I can’t recommend their videos highly enough, and I use them ALL THE TIME to teach people about this “social media” stuff that we do.
If you want to receive the occasional video and audio podcasts that I do here on TinyScreenfuls, then make sure you’re subscribed to the TinyPodcast feed. I first started podcasting in 2005, but it’s become kind of sporadic lately. I’ve got big plans for the show, and my show on Intel Software Network, called Bit Stories, this year! Subscribe now if you’re interested, and automatically get the shows as they appear.
Thank you, Lee and Common Craft, for providing such a useful resource for us!

RT @tweetie: Tweetie for Mac 1.2.6 is out! Tweetie -> Check for Updates. #
The Where's Waldo iPhone app is on sale for $0.99. It's a great game, with "kids" and "grown up" difficulties. http://bit.ly/6sq4lT#
Want a smaller, less expensive version of the screaming fast Intel X-25 solid state drives? How about 40GB for $125? http://bit.ly/dBg6jU#
(Transparency disclaimer for that last update: I work for Intel, but I don't have anything to do with the folks that make the SSDs.) #
@smileysejalee I have an 80GB SSD in my IT-issued Windows laptop. It's super fast. But I need more than 80 (or 160) GB in my Mac. in reply to smileysejalee#
