This of course brings me back to Podcasting, which some people still think I'm down on which is not true. I'm down on the dedicated music player, I think PodCasting - or really, time shifted personal broadcasting on mobile devices - is going to continue to grow into a phenomenon. [...] To me the key will be when you can get that stuff on demand. If I had the know-how right now, I'd drop everything and start creating automatic conversion tools online for every phone that can play media files out there and start a streaming media company tomorrow dedicated to user generated content. I think it's going to be that big.

I'm getting on-demand radio on my mobile right now. This is an awesome example of what sort of cool new mobile media services are coming soon. Think back to my Podcast Radio idea. Imagine if instead of getting Virgin's canned music, you got your personal podcast list instead, all organized as a long radio show? This is all *so* close to happening, I love it.

I am not sure if it is worth to download this. Nothing new here and I ask myself, if I should repeat it.

Three tumblers are falling into place unlocking the promise of a mobile, connected society:

• Global access now connecting one billion people
• Mobile technologies with high-bandwidth capabilities for a dizzying array of services;
• The emergence of a mobile lifestyle in which communication devices integrate into consumers’ lives.
