Get Ready for 'Cellcasts'
* disclosure: I work for Kaywa *
At Kaywa you can since a long time download mp3 files from the blogs via the mobile version (just add /mobile to the weblog address to get it). Here is an example from last year: http://schweizerdeutsch.kaywa.ch/mobile/dialoge/pimp-my-uni.html
Recently we tried out other stuff, something we call "phonecasting":
As for now that works only for Switzerland, unleass you want to pay, the hopefully soon to be abolished, roaming costs. But if you are interested, drop me a comment.
With UpSnap, which launched 100 free mobile podcasts on March 27, you can simply dial a number to listen to your program from your phone. In a few weeks, the service will also allow users to get podcasts to their phones wirelessly by sending UpSnap a text message. Rival Pod2Mob allows for the text message feature and has built a user base in excess of 100,000 since its launch last summer.

- You call a number, speak what you have to say, sing etc, save it and it's immediately blogged.
- It's also immediately available as a podcast
- and you can listen to it by dialing another phone number (which costs CHF 0.50 extra).
