Melodeo’s Mobilcast podcasting network has released beta version 3 of its handset software and the new features appear very useful. Here’s what Melodeo says those features are:
Player memory: If a listener has to quit a podcast before a podcast finished Mobilcast now remembers where she left off and starts from that point.
Add to/remove from favorites: Mobilcast allows listeners to add or remove a podcast to their favorites folder.
New player controls: Listeners can control player volume, fast forward, rewind, pause, and skip to the next podcast using the phone’s keypad (see below).
Listen all: Selecting listen all from within the New Today folder allows a listener to hear all of the day’s new podcasts in one download, rather than asking the listener to download one podcast at a time.
New catalog design: We have redesigned the Mobilcast catalog by reducing the number of channels and surfacing the most interesting and popular content, making it easier for a listener to find what they want. If you can’t find what you’re looking for in the catalog you can search for it on the Mobilcast server.New folders include:
New Today: Containing the latest updates.
Best of Mobilcast: Where listeners will find Mobilcast’s most popular podcasts.
Recently Played: Keeps the podcasts played most recently in one place so they can be easily played again.
Share: If you like Mobilcast, share it with a friend via text message.
